2021 Ford Fiesta Stline X Edition T Mhev 1.0L Petrol · KT21 OMV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend reveals a recurring issue with wheel-related defects. The most recent test on 9 June 2026 at 41,985 miles passed despite flagging a slightly distorted offside front road wheel. This follows a failure in the previous year where the nearside front wheel was also noted alongside a critical tyre failure. While the vehicle is passing its legal inspections, the persistence of wheel distortion suggests a history of impact or manufacturing defect that remains unresolved. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 24,559 miles and the May 2025 test at 34,365 miles, the car covered nearly 10,000 miles. The most recent interval saw 7,620 miles covered over the year. This steady usage suggests regular operation which is generally beneficial for maintaining mechanical components compared to long periods of stagnation. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly to determine the cause of the distorted road wheels. Repeated distortion often indicates significant impacts that can affect control arms, wheel bearings, or steering geometry. The failure in May 2025 due to exposed cords on the nearside front tyre highlights a lapse in basic consumable maintenance, so the current tyres should be checked for uneven wear or mismatched brands. No structural corrosion or major mechanical failures have appeared in the record, focusing the concern entirely on the integrity of the front-end wheels.
