2022 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Turbo Mhev 1.0L Petrol · DX22 LFB

The 2022 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Turbo MHEV presents a clean and stable maintenance trend based on its official DVSA MOT record. The most recent test on 30 September 2025 recorded a pass with zero defects at 21,457 miles. The preceding test on 19 July 2024 also passed cleanly at 18,722 miles. This consecutive defect-free record indicates no recurring mechanical or structural faults have been flagged by testers, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a consistently roadworthy standard across its two recorded annual inspections. The mileage accumulation pattern is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Between the July 2024 test and the September 2025 test, the car covered just 2,735 miles over approximately fourteen months. The overall annualised average sits at roughly 5,364 miles per year since new, which is well below typical UK usage. Such low mileage can reflect light urban commuting or extended periods of inactivity. While reduced wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes is a benefit, prolonged sitting can introduce its own risks, including flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, and dried-out rubber seals. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The absence of flagged defects does not guarantee the absence of latent issues. Pay close attention to the condition of the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar links, as these components can develop play on low-mileage cars that spend most of their life on uneven urban surfaces. Inspect the exhaust system for early corrosion, particularly around flexi-joints and mounting points, and check the brake calipers for any sign of binding, a common advisory point on Fiesta variants. Tyre condition warrants particular scrutiny given the mileage profile. Low annual usage often means tyres age out before they wear out. Verify the date codes on all four tyres and the spare to ensure none exceed six years of age, as rubber compounds harden and lose grip regardless of remaining tread depth. A short test drive should confirm smooth brake operation without pulling or vibration, and the hybrid system's regenerative braking function should engage progressively without unexpected jerking or dashboard warnings.
