2020 Ford Fiesta Trend 1.1L Petrol · LD20 PDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 40,091 miles passed despite advis for thin front brake pads and a deteriorated rear registration plate. While the car consistently passes its inspections, the presence of thinning brake components suggests the previous owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold or advisory limit. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 19,721 miles and June 2024 at 31,260 miles, the car covered over 11,000 miles, which is significantly higher than its annual average. This spike in usage likely contributed to the nearside front tyre noted in the June 2024 test, which was found worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. A buyer should personally inspect the suspension system, as the record shows oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber starting in June 2023 at 19,721 miles. Although this did not cause a failure, persistent leaking indicates a progressive seal failure that will eventually require replacement. The front brake pads also require immediate attention, as the June 2025 advisory flagged them as wearing thin. Given the previous report of uneven tyre wear on the nearside front, a professional alignment check is necessary to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature tyre degradation.
