2019 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · CP19 HFY

The 2019 Ford Fiesta presents a broadly stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 May 2026 at 78,388 miles. The maintenance trend is one of steady, predictable wear rather than escalating mechanical failure. The May 2026 test flagged both front brake pads wearing thin and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit, indicating the car is being driven hard enough to consume consumables at a normal rate. A deteriorated rear registration plate was also noted. Crucially, no structural corrosion, suspension defects, or braking system failures have appeared in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in reasonable mechanical order across its life. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent. Between the May 2022 test at 29,147 miles and the May 2026 test at 78,388 miles, the car covered 49,241 miles in four years, averaging roughly 12,310 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are tight: 11,362 miles between May 2022 and May 2023, 11,742 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, and 12,423 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This is a well-used car with no suspicious gaps in the record that might suggest long periods of standing or clocking. The MOT history is complete and consecutive, which is a positive indicator of continuous use and regular testing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system and front suspension geometry. The front brake pads have appeared as wearing thin in both the May 2023 and May 2026 tests, and the front brake discs were flagged as slightly lipped in May 2023. This recurring pattern suggests the front brakes are doing the majority of the stopping work, which is normal for a front-wheel-drive hatchback, but it also means the discs and pads deserve close scrutiny for uneven wear or lipping that has progressed beyond acceptable limits. The front tyres were noted as worn on the edges in May 2026, which can point to tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushes. A four-wheel alignment check and a close look at the front lower arm bushes and anti-roll bar links would be wise before purchase. The rear registration plate deterioration has appeared in both the May 2024 and May 2026 tests, which is cosmetic and easily replaced. More worth noting is the rear tyre perishing flagged in May 2023 and the front tyre perishing flagged in May 2022, both of which resolved before the next test, suggesting the previous owner replaced tyres when prompted. Tyre age and sidewall condition should still be verified in person, as perished sidewalls can fail without warning. Overall, the record paints a picture of a car that has been driven regularly and maintained reactively rather than neglected, but the front end components warrant hands-on verification.
