2020 Ford Fiesta Titanium Turbo Mhev 1.0L Petrol · EK70 OKJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on September 10, 2025, 32,017 miles. The maintenance trend shows a resolving issue regarding a specific suspension component. While the car failed the test the previous day due to a serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber, the immediate pass indicates that the fault was addressed and rectified. This progression from light oil misting to a full failure suggests that the owner is responsive to MOT requirements rather than allowing mechanical issues to deteriorate. At six years old, this 2020 Fiesta has averaged approximately 5,336 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the records, moving from 17,808 miles in September 2023 to 25,325 miles by September 2024. This low-usage profile suggests the vehicle has not seen heavy use, which preserves the drivetrain and interior components. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to brake disc corrosion or seal drying if the car sits stationary for extended periods between journeys. A prospective buyer should verify that the offside rear shock absorber was actually replaced with a quality component rather than merely cleaned, given the history of oil misting in 2024 leading to a leak in 2025. Physical inspection of the remaining suspension dampers for signs of weeping or perished is also advisable. Since the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or recurring brake failures, the focus should remain on the condition of the rubber bushes and tyres, which can perish from age regardless of low mileage use.
