2022 Ford Fiesta Active X Edition T Mhev 1.0L Petrol · GX71 HSU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test in February 2026. While the car passed without mechanical failures, the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue regarding tyre condition. The tester flagged damage to all four tyre outer sidewalls at 4,317 miles, mirroring a previous advisory for the nearside front tyre recorded during the January test at 3,174 miles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, with only 4,317 miles recorded. This represents an annual average of approximately 1,080 miles. Between the January 2025 and February 2026 tests, the car covered an additional 1,143 miles. Such low usage suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as flat-spotting, perished rubber, or fluid degradation despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the tyres to determine if the recurring sidewall damage is caused by impact, curbing, or environmental degradation. Since the damage persisted across all four wheels in the latest test, the set likely requires immediate replacement. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from rim rust that can affect braking performance.
