2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FH19 DLU

The 2019 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 36,178 miles which recorded no defects. Across every annual examination from August 2022 through August 2025 the vehicle passed with a clean sheet, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. The DVSA record reflects consistent statutory compliance under the previous keeper. The odometer shows 36,178 miles against roughly seven years of age, equating to circa 5,168 miles per year. This is low for a supermini of this era. The test on 2 August 2022 at 30,975 miles logged both a fail and a pass on the same day with no defects cited, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Annual increments stayed tight: 31,370 miles in August 2023, 33,859 in August 2024, and 36,178 in August 2025. Low yearly use suggests the car spent periods stationary, which can accelerate perished rubber seals and flat-spotted tyres despite the clean MOT trail. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of corrosion-prone sills and subframes, as the MOT omitted advisories that latent rust may already be forming unseen. Check the condition of suspension components and brake calipers for binding after standing idle. Verify the original 2022 fail entry was clerical by reviewing the DVSA gateway, though no defect data supports a mechanical concern. Given the sparse and unblemished history, previous ownership appears disciplined with timely annual testing. The low mileage warrants scrutiny of consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid degradation rather than major drivetrain risk.
