2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GL69 DLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 58,764 miles resulted in a failure due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault. While the car passed the subsequent re-test, the presence of an SRS failure indicates that critical safety systems are only addressed when they trigger an inspection failure rather than being monitored during routine servicing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. Between November 2023 at 45,609 miles and November 2024 at 52,491 miles, the car covered 6,882 miles, showing steady usage. This mileage profile suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme mechanical stress, though it does not negate the wear observed on rubber and friction components noted in the history. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and braking system due to recurring issues. The November 2023 test flagged a nearside rear shock absorber with a serious fluid leak and perished rear tyres, while the November 2024 test identified thin front brake pads and edge-worn front tyres. The repeated edge-wear on tyres suggests a way alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement. Furthermore, the SRS warning lamp failure in 2025 should be checked with a diagnostic tool to ensure the fault was fully rectified and not merely cleared.
