2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EU20 KRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent test history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the car passed on May 22, 2026 at 39,854 miles, it failed just moments prior due to thin front brake pads and insufficient washer fluid. This failure suggests that while the primary mechanical components remained sound in previous years, the owner is now only addressing consumable wear items once they are flagged by the MOT tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between the 2025 test at 21,684 miles and the 2026 test at 39,854 miles, the car covered 18,170 miles, representing a significant spike in usage compared to the prior years. The clean records from 2023, 2024, and 2025 show that the structural integrity and major components have not been subjected to undue stress during the earlier life of the car. A buyer should inspect the front braking system in person to ensure the thin pads have been replaced and that the discs show no signs of scoring or heat damage. The recent failure for washer fluid also warrants a check for leaks in the reservoir or blocked nozzles, which are often overlooked during basic servicing. Given the period of low mileage and the transition to higher use, a physical inspection of the rubber suspension bushes and tyres for cracking is advisable, as these components age over time regardless of distance driven.
