2022 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Turbo Mhev 1.0L Petrol · GU22 PJO

The vehicle presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 3 February 2026 at 15,720 miles. The most recent test shows a marked reduction in mechanical defects compared to the previous year, with only a single advisory for a worn nearside front tyre. This indicates that the previous owner addressed the more significant issues flagged in 2025, specifically the corroded rear brake discs and the damaged nearside front wheel. The maintenance trend is clearly positive, moving from a test with multiple advisories to one with a single, minor consumable wear item. The mileage accumulation of approximately 3,930 miles per year is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the February 2025 test at 12,255 miles and the February 2026 test at 15,720 miles, the car covered just 3,465 miles in twelve months. This pattern suggests either very light local use or extended periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally limits wear on major components, prolonged standing can cause its own issues, such as flat-spotted tyres, brake disc surface corrosion, and perished rubber seals, which aligns with the advisories noted in the 2025 record. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the undercarriage and wheel assemblies. The 2025 advisory noted minor damage to the engine undertray, so checking for fresh cracks, scrapes, or insecure mounting is prudent. The nearside front wheel was flagged for a slight buckle; a spin test on the hub will confirm if the rim is still true and if the previous repair or replacement has held. Given the history of a corroded rear brake disc and a perished front tyre, the condition of all four brake discs for surface rust and the sidewalls of all tyres for age-related cracking deserve close attention, even if the most recent MOT was clean.
