2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EG19 HFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 20, 2026, at 54,177 miles. However, the failure just one day prior reveals a concerning trend of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The recent test identified multiple critical safety defects, including front tyres at or below legal limits and thinning brake components across all wheels. While the car has since been rectified, the record suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between May 2025 and May 2026, where the car covered over 17,000 miles in twelve months. This acceleration in driving likely correlates with the rapid wear observed on the brakes and tyres during the most recent inspection. Prior to this, the 2024 advisory for a perished nearside front tyre indicated the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods in earlier years, leading to rubber dry rot. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the May 2026 failure flagged both thin pads and worn discs on the front axle. Given the rear pads were also noted as thin, it is essential to verify if the entire system was serviced or just the front components. The tyres should also be checked for uneven wear, as the offside front tyre showed signs of edge wear which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension geometry components. The history of deferred maintenance suggests that other consumable items, such as fluids or suspension bushes, may be nearing their interval for replacement.
