2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · M44 AST

The 2026‑02‑16 MOT shows the Fiesta passed with no recorded defects, confirming current roadworthiness. Earlier records reveal a single failure for an off‑side rear tyre in February 2025, which was rectified before the next test, and isolated shock‑absorber oil misting in February 2023. With the most recent test clean and no repeat failures, the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. At 27,780 miles after six years, the vehicle averages roughly 4,600 miles per annum, well below the typical UK usage rate. The mileage progression – 15,461 mi in February 2023, 19,593 mi in February 2024, 23,457 mi in February 2025 and 27,780 mi in February 2026 – shows a consistent, modest increase of about 4,000 mi each year. No abrupt spikes or long gaps in testing are evident, suggesting regular monitoring by previous owners. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear tyre that previously exhibited exposed ply, confirming that the replacement tyre is correctly mounted and free of damage. The 2023 shock‑absorber oil misting warrants a visual inspection of both rear shock absorbers for any leakage or deteriorated bushings, as lingering oil can indicate seal wear. Front tyre tread should be measured to ensure it remains above the legal minimum and that edge wear is absent. Finally, a general check of the suspension components, brake discs and pads, and any signs of corrosion on the chassis will verify that the earlier minor issues have not progressed into structural concerns.
