2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FD19 KVH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding the braking system. While the most recent test on 16 June 2026 at 26,261 miles passed, it flagged thin rear brake pads and pitting or scoring on both rear inner brake discs. This follows a progression of thin pads being noted in both 2024 and 2025, indicating that the owner has neglected to replace these components despite multiple advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,750 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing, moving from 19,765 miles in June 2023 to 26,261 miles in June 2026. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but it often contributes to the surface corrosion seen on the brake components when the vehicle sits for long periods without frequent heavy braking friction to keep the discs clean. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly. The recurring reports of pitting and scoring on the discs suggest they are oxidizing prematurely and likely require replacement alongside the thin pads. The June 2025 failure also highlighted a cut in the offside front inner tyre; while this passed later, the buyer should check for further sidewall damage or age-related cracking. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also verify the rubber bushes and seals for cracking, which is common in vehicles that are driven infrequently.
