2021 Ford Fiesta Titanium X Turbo Mhev 1.0L Petrol · EF70 VXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of intermittent neglect following a mechanical failure. The most recent test in January 2026 at 12,140 miles passed with a single minor advisory regarding an insecure battery. This represents an improvement over the previous year in January 2025, where the car failed due to multiple issues including an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp and a distorted wheel. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 2,002 miles between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, followed by another 1,425 miles leading up to the January 2026 inspection. While low-mileage generally suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can also lead to issues such as flat-spotting on tyres or brake battery degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the nearside front road wheel, which was flagged as distorted in early 2025. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, a bent rim can cause vibrations at high speeds or lead to uneven tyre wear. The recurring advisory regarding the insecure battery also requires attention; the fault has appeared in two consecutive tests, suggesting the mounting bracket or strap has not been properly secured by the previous owner. The 2025 failure for an inoperative engine management light indicates a past electrical or sensor fault that was supposedly rectified. The buyer should verify that the check engine light illuminates correctly when the ignition is cycled to ensure no hidden fault codes remain present. Given the low usage, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting is also advisable, as these infrequently driven cars often suffer from rust on the braking components.
