2019 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · DY19 WDM

The 2019 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 15 October 2025 at 41,474 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean bill of health is significant because it follows two consecutive years where tyre condition advisories were flagged, suggesting the previous owner addressed the rubber deterioration rather than letting it persist. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults, and the absence of any brake, suspension, or exhaust defects across all five tests indicates the car has been kept in reasonable working order. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light, consistent use. Between the March 2022 test at 9,974 miles and the October 2025 test at 41,474 miles, the car covered roughly 31,500 miles in just under three and a half years, averaging around 9,000 miles annually during that period. Before March 2022, the annual pace was closer to 5,000 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, and the overall average of approximately 5,925 miles per year remains low for a seven-year-old supermini. Long periods of light use can sometimes mask issues like sticking calipers or deteriorating rubber components from age rather than wear, but the MOT record does not reflect those problems. The recurring advisory theme across the 2023 and 2024 tests is tyre perishing and cracking, specifically on the nearside front and rear in 2024 and the offside rear in 2023. These are age-related rubber degradation issues common on cars that sit for extended periods, and the fact that no tyre defects appeared in the 2025 test confirms they were replaced. A buyer should still inspect all four tyres carefully, checking the date codes to confirm they are a matching recent set and looking for any uneven wear that could point to alignment or suspension geometry issues not picked up by the MOT. Beyond the tyres, the clean record means there is little in the way of flagged structural or mechanical concern to work from. A buyer should still carry out a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around the sills, subframe, and suspension mounting points, as low-mileage cars that have spent time standing can develop surface rust that does not always trigger an MOT failure. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, test the suspension for clunks over rough surfaces, and verify that all dashboard warning lights extinguish correctly on start-up. The MOT history is reassuring, but it is no substitute for a hands-on inspection by a qualified mechanic before purchase.
