2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GL69 UKO

The 2019 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 25 November 2025 at 8,935 miles, but the outcome reveals a maintenance trend that has deteriorated sharply in the last twelve months. After two consecutive clean passes in November 2022 at 3,469 miles and November 2023 at 5,734 miles, the November 2024 test at 7,193 miles flagged perishing on three tyres, and the November 2025 test recorded pitted and scored rear brake discs on both sides alongside age cracking in both rear tyres. The vehicle has gone from zero advisories to four defects in a single year, indicating that basic consumable upkeep has been neglected recently. The mileage profile is unusually low. Across roughly seven years the car has covered just 8,935 miles, averaging approximately 1,276 miles per year. The annual increments tell a slightly uneven story: 2,265 miles between November 2022 and November 2023, then 1,459 miles over the following twelve months, and only 1,742 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. Such minimal use raises the possibility of long periods standing still, which directly explains the tyre age cracking and the pitting visible on the brake discs. Vehicles that sit unused for extended periods develop flat spots on tyres, surface corrosion on brake rotors, and deterioration of rubber components, all of which this record now confirms. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the braking system and the condition of all four tyres, including the spare if fitted. The rear brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted or scored in the November 2025 test, meaning a close check for lipping, thickness variation, and hot-spotting is warranted. Both rear tyres showed age-related cracking in the tread, and the front tyres were flagged for perishing twelve months earlier, so all rubber should be examined for sidewall crazing, date codes older than five years, and uneven wear patterns that could point to suspension or alignment issues. Low-mileage cars of this age can also suffer from seized handbrake mechanisms, corroded brake caliper slides, and perished suspension bushes due to inactivity rather than wear, so a thorough underside inspection on a ramp is strongly advised before purchase.
