2020 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · FP20 BPU

The Ford Fiesta presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 31 July 2025 at 136,091 miles, showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, as the most recent test and the prior August 2024 pass at 124,529 miles both returned with no advisories or faults logged. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the official record, though two earlier failures in July 2025 and August 2024 were logged with zero defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than confirmed component failure. Mileage data shows unusual behaviour for a 2020 registered car. The August 2024 test captured 124,528 miles, yet a cluster of July 2025 entries sit at roughly 64,000 miles before jumping to 136,091 miles on the final pass. This implies either a mileage discrepancy in the record or a replacement cluster or odometer fault. Annual use averages near 22,700 miles, which is high for the model age and points to sustained motorway or delivery-type usage that accelerates wear on drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake discs. A buyer should physically verify the true odometer reading and investigate the July 2025 low-mileage tests against the 136,091 mile final figure, as the DVSA log alone cannot confirm which reading is correct. Given the high accumulated distance and the two failure entries with no defects noted, inspect front coil springs, track-rod ends, and rear trailing-arm bushes for fatigue, plus measure brake disc run-out and pad thickness. Confirm there is no hidden corrosion at sills or suspension mountings despite the clean advisories, and request service invoices to corroborate mileage. The absence of recorded faults should not override a hands-on check of consumables given the vehicle's elevated annual coverage.
