2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · KM20 FDY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 21,261 miles resulted in a pass with advisories for sidewall damage on the offside front and nearside rear tyres. This indicates a stable but concerning trend where the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they have been flagged as a failure or a significant advisory during the annual inspection. At 21,261 miles over six years, this Ford Fiesta has clocked exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. This low usage often suggests short-distance trips, which can lead to accelerated degradation of certain rubber components and brake systems. Between May 2023 and August 2024, the vehicle covered only 2,246 miles, yet it still required replacement of thin front brake pads and worn discs. This disparity suggests that the low mileage does not protect the braking system from wear or potential corrosion caused by periods of inactivity or use. A buyer must closely inspect the tyre set, as the record shows a recurring history of sidewall cuts and punctures across 2023, 2024, and 2025. These faults often indicate poor driving conditions or frequent kerbing incidents. Furthermore, the suspension requires a thorough physical check following the May 2023 failure for a serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber. While this was reportedly repaired, the buyer should verify the remaining shocks for misting or further leaks to ensure the low-mileage usage has not caused premature seal failure due to age.
