2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EA67 WLP

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-16 showed the vehicle passed with 65,640 miles, but a failure just 24 hours earlier on 2026-04-15 revealed three issues: a front brake disc worn or scored, a nearside rear tyre close to the legal limit, and stop lamps not functioning. This suggests potential maintenance oversights or rapid wear in critical areas. A prior failure on 2026-03-05 highlighted recurring problems, including brake fluctuations, binding, and tyres with tread below 1.6mm. Lamp failures were also repeated, with both position and stop lamps non-functional. These issues indicate inconsistent attention to safety-critical components like brakes, tyres, and lighting. The trend shows intermittent failures rather than a clear worsening or improvement. While the latest MOT passed, the proximity of the failure and subsequent pass implies repairs were likely made. However, the vehicle’s age and mileage (65,640 miles over 9 years) suggest average usage, with no strong evidence of heavy wear or prolonged inactivity. The mileage of 7,293 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, but it does not confirm whether the car was driven frequently or left idle. Lower mileage could mean less wear on components like brakes and tyres, while higher mileage might accelerate degradation.
