2022 Ford Fiesta Sport Turbo 1.0L Petrol · FP22 MXW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent test on June 1, 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from consumable wear to potential structural component damage. While the car passed the test, the tester flagged a slightly distorted nearside front inner road wheel at 71,355 miles. This indicates a recent impact event or significant curb damage, which represents a progression from the minor tyre issues noted in the previous year. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,800 miles per year. Between the May 2025 test at 57,217 miles and the June 2026 test at 71,355 miles, the car covered 14,138 miles in just thirteen months. This rate of use places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The 2025 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn to the edge suggests that the previous owner may have neglected regular alignment checks or failed to replace tyres at appropriate intervals. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the nearside front suspension to ensure the wheel distortion has not caused a bent control arm, damaged strut, or steering rack. The high-mileage profile necessitates a thorough check of the brake discs and pad thickness, as these components undergo accelerated wear under use. Given the previous uneven tyre wear, verifying the current alignment and checking for worn suspension bushes is essential to ensure the vehicle does not prematurely consume new sets of tyres.
