2021 Ford Fiesta Trend Turbo 1.0L Petrol · LA70 LMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in proactive mechanical care. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 36,313 miles, it had failed just hours prior due to multiple safety deplets. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a series of failures in 2026 suggests that the current owner is only addressing faults once they trigger a failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year over its five-year life. The jump from 26,858 miles in February 2024 to 31,479 miles in February 2025 shows a steady usage rate of around 4,600 miles annually. This low mileage generally protects the drivetrain and engine, but the recurring issues with brake components and tyres indicate that despite the low distance driven, the consumable parts are not being replaced at appropriate intervals. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front braking system, as the record shows a persistent history of thin pads and worn discs across the 2025 and 2026 tests. The 2026 failure specifically highlighted a distorted nearside front road wheel and a structural failure in the inner tyre, which suggests the vehicle may have suffered a significant impact. You should also check for uneven tyre wear and inspect the rear suspension geometry, as the 2025 advisories already noted edge wear on the rear tyres, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
