2022 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Edition T Mhev 1.0L Petrol · FV22 RVK

With only two MOT tests on record, both of which passed without a single advisory or defect being recorded, this Fiesta presents a particularly sparse but unblemished roadworthiness profile from a regulatory testing standpoint. The most recent examination on 21 March 2026 recorded a clean pass, and the prior test on 17 June 2025 was similarly free of any flagged items, meaning there is no documented pattern of component wear, corrosion, or recurring mechanical concerns visible in the official DVSA history. While the brevity of the test record limits any deep longitudinal analysis of component degradation, the absence of any advisories across two consecutive passes is an objectively clean data set that does not contradict the vehicle's roadworthy status. For a prospective buyer, this simply means there are no specific flagged items from the regulatory record requiring targeted follow-up, though it does not in itself constitute evidence of broader mechanical condition beyond what is statutorily tested. At 24,470 recorded miles over an approximate four-year ownership span, this Fiesta has accumulated mileage at a rate of roughly 6,118 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a vehicle of its age and class. There are no anomalous gaps in the testing timeline, no periods where the vehicle appears to have been off the road for an extended duration, and no sudden jumps in recorded mileage between tests that might suggest inconsistent use or clock irregularities. This steady, moderate annual accumulation is generally consistent with regular mixed driving and is not the kind of usage profile that would typically accelerate wear on major drivetrain components or suspension assemblies. The two MOT entries also align sensibly with a vehicle that has been in continuous use, supporting a consistent mechanical history rather than one interrupted by long periods of standing. From a targeted inspection perspective, the absence of any advisories means there are no specific components flagged for monitoring, so attention should logically shift to the items that commonly present on a Fiesta of this generation and mileage but which fall outside the strict MOT pass/fail criteria. On a road test, particular attention should be paid to the feel of the front suspension, specifically listening for any clonks or knocks over uneven surfaces that might indicate worn anti-roll bar drop links, a known wear item on this platform, or degraded front wishbone bushes that can develop play before becoming evident at MOT level. The steering should be checked for any vagueness off-centre or clonking through full lock, which can point to top mount or track rod end wear, while uneven tyre wear across an axle would warrant inspection of the wheel bearings and alignment geometry. Brake-related items deserve close physical inspection despite the clean test record, as a 24,000-mile Fiesta on its original factory discs and pads is approaching the point where pad material will be thinning and disc lip may be becoming measurable. A test drive should include several moderate to firm stops from around 40 mph to check for any pulsation through the brake pedal, which would indicate disc runout or thickness variation, and the vehicle should be observed at low speed for any tendency to pull to one side under braking, which can suggest a binding or sticking caliper, again a recognised issue on this model. The tyre sidewalls should also be examined for any cracking or perishing, and tread depth confirmed across the full width rather than just the central ribs, as edge wear can indicate suspension geometry drift. Finally, the underside should be visually inspected for any signs of oil weep from the engine or transmission, condition of the exhaust hangers and mounting rubbers, and any surface corrosion on subframe or suspension components that may not yet have reached the MOT failure threshold but could merit attention given the vehicle's age.
