2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DF69 RLU

The vehicle remains roadworthy as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in January 2026 at 38,249 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable history, though there is a clear recurring focus on tyre-related issues. While the latest test flagged a minor cut on the nearside front tyre, the absence of major mechanical failures in the 2025 test suggests the core drivetrain and braking components are operating within acceptable parameters. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,375 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 15,548 miles and the January 2024 test at 22,701 miles, the car covered 7,153 miles, indicating steady annual use. The jump to 38,249 miles between January 2024 and January 2026 represents a similar low-mileage usage profile. This data suggests the car is not subjected to extreme long-distance commuting, which typically reduces the wear on the engine and suspension bushings. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a history of perishing sidewalls and uneven wear. The 2023 advisory for tyres worn on the edges and the 2024 report of perishing rubber suggest the vehicle may have sat for long periods or suffered from alignment issues. It is necessary to check for dry cracking in the rubber sidewalls of all four tyres to ensure they are not aging despite the low mileage. Since no issues regarding structural corrosion or brake binding have been recorded, the primary focus should remain on the condition of the rubber components and the alignment of the front suspension.
