2021 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Edition Turbo 1.0L Petrol · LA05 REV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a persistent trend of deferred consumable maintenance. The most recent test on 16 May 2026 at 51,138 miles resulted in an initial failure due to headlamp aim and multiple tyre defects. While the headlamps were adjusted to secure a pass, the presence of perished tyres, nails in the rear tyres, and a worn exhaust flexi suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they threaten an MOT certificate rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a five-year-old vehicle. With 51,138 miles recorded today, the car has averaged approximately 10,200 miles per year. The interval between the May 2024 test at 19,623 miles and the May 2025 test at 36,448 miles shows a spike of 16,825 miles, while the final year leading to the 2026 test saw 14,690 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the consistent wear observed on rubber components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and braking system. The record shows tyres consistently worn near the legal limit or showing edge wear across three years in 2024, 2025, and 2026, indicating potential alignment issues or simply a habit of running rubber until it fails. The 2025 advisory regarding thin front brake pads necessitates a physical check of the remaining friction material and disc condition for uneven scoring. Additionally, the worn exhaust flexi noted in May 2026 is a precursor to an exhaust leak or noise issue and should be monitored for signs of heat damage or corrosion.
