2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LD19 OVG

The 2019 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean MOT pass on 12 March 2026 at 49,191 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant turnaround from the March 2023 test, where the vehicle failed on headlamp aim and carried multiple advisories across tyres, brake discs, seat belts, and wiper blades. The subsequent tests in 2024 and 2026 show a clear resolution of those issues, suggesting the previous owner addressed the flagged items promptly rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a seven-year-old supermini. The vehicle covered 8,907 miles between the March 2023 test at 23,782 miles and the March 2024 test at 32,136 miles, then added a further 8,908 miles by the March 2025 test at 40,284 miles, and a further 8,907 miles by the March 2026 test at 49,191 miles. This steady annual rate of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles indicates regular use without prolonged standing periods or sudden spikes that would raise concerns about odometer tampering or neglect through disuse. The recurring theme across the 2023 record is tyre wear, with all four tyres flagged as worn close to the legal limit or worn on edge at just 23,782 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have been driven hard or alignment was not checked regularly in its early life. The nearside rear tyre advisory reappeared in the 2025 test at 40,284 miles, indicating uneven wear remains a characteristic of this car. A buyer should inspect all four tyres closely for inner and outer edge wear, check wheel alignment settings, and examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for any play that could cause premature tyre scuffing. The front brake disc advisory from 2023, while noted as not excessively lipping, warrants a visual check of disc thickness and condition, particularly given the vehicle has now covered a further 25,000 miles since that observation. The seat belt damage flagged in 2023 appears to have been rectified, but a pull-test of all belts is prudent to confirm retractors function correctly and webbing is intact.
