2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FD19 KVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test in June 2025 at 86,190 miles resulted in a failure for an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system, a damaged windscreen, and a nearside front ABS component. While these issues were rectified to achieve a pass, the recurrence of failures across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten the vehicle's legal status. At 86,190 miles over seven years, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 12,300 miles annually. This is significantly above the national average for a small hatchback and places heavy stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The data shows a notable surge in usage between May 2023 (46,269 miles) and June 2024 (72,163 miles), covering over twenty-six miles in just thirteen months. This high mileage indicates consistent motorway or commuter use which typically accelerates the degradation of wear items like suspension bushes and wheel bearings. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry thoroughly, as the 2023 test flagged excessive wear on both the nearside and offside front lower arm ball joints. Although these were replaced, the high mileage increases the likelihood that other steering components are nearing the end of their service. The nearside rear wheel bearing also showed play in 2023, which should be checked for noise or excessive movement during a test drive to ensure the fault has not returned. Given the recent ABS component damage and TPMS failure in the 2025 test, an electronic diagnostic is advised to ensure no hidden faults remain in the system. The windscreen should also be inspected for cracks that may have spread since the previous repair. The overall record reflects a vehicle that has been used hard and requires close attention to its mechanical integrity to prevent sudden component failures.
