2020 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Edition T Mhev 1.0L Petrol · HN70 EEB

The Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT test on 15 October 2025—just nine months ago—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This marks the third consecutive clean pass since 2024, suggesting consistent maintenance and no major recurring issues. The absence of advisories or structural faults in the latest inspection indicates the vehicle has likely been kept in sound condition, though the 2023 test reveals a history of minor tyre concerns that were resolved before the next MOT cycle. The most recent pass alone does not guarantee future reliability, but the stable trend of passing without fail is a positive indicator of responsible ownership. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 9,500 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and model. The recorded mileage at each test—42,461 in 2023, 51,272 in 2024, and 57,023 in 2025—demonstrates a consistent pattern without abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no red flags in the mileage data to suggest neglect or excessive wear beyond expected levels for a six-year-old vehicle with this usage history. The 2023 test stands out as the only failure in this history, flagging a bulge in the offside front tyre (indicative of structural separation) alongside superficial cuts to the rear tyres. While these issues were rectified before the subsequent pass, a buyer should personally inspect the current tyres for any signs of bulging, uneven wear, or deep cuts that could compromise tread integrity. The engine cover and undershields noted in 2023 may have obscured components during inspection, but their presence in later tests suggests no obstruction issues persist. No advisories or suspension/braking faults have appeared in recent tests, though a thorough check of rear brake binding (if present), coil springs, and suspension bushes is advisable given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and subframes should also be examined, particularly if the car has seen wet or salty conditions.
