2022 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Petrol · FG72 EOL

The 2022 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and unblemished mechanical record, with the most recent MOT conducted on 26 September 2025 at 17,298 miles resulting in a clean pass and zero defects. The maintenance trend appears entirely stable, showing no recurring faults or advisories across the available history. A complete absence of flagged components indicates the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at the time of its last inspection. The recorded mileage of 17,298 miles equates to an exceptionally low annual average of roughly 4,300 miles for a four-year-old vehicle. However, a notable anomaly exists within the data: the current recorded mileage matches the exact figure captured during the September 2025 test. This suggests the vehicle has covered zero miles since its last MOT, pointing to either prolonged stationary storage or extremely limited use over the preceding ten months. Such low utilization can mask typical wear patterns, as short-trip driving and standing time often cause issues like brake disc corrosion or battery drain that high-mileage commuting does not. Despite the clean MOT record, the severe underutilization warrants a thorough physical inspection. A prospective buyer must examine the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by standing, as light use prevents the pads from wiping the discs clean. Tyre condition requires close scrutiny; while tread depth may remain legal, the rubber could suffer from sidewall cracking or flat-spotting from remaining stationary. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration from lack of movement, and the exhaust system must be inspected for internal condensation rust from short journeys that fail to evaporate moisture. The battery health also demands verification, as infrequent use often leads to premature failure.
