2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MF69 DKJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 20 August 2025 at 1,371 miles. While the maintenance trend appears stable, the significant failure recorded just two miles prior at 1,369 miles demands attention. The tester flagged deteriorated front electrical wiring insulation likely to cause a short-circuit engine loom. This was clearly rectified prior to the retest, as the vehicle subsequently passed with no further defects recorded. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 196 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered only 480 miles, maintaining a consistent pattern of roughly 160 miles annually during that period. This pattern suggests the vehicle sits for long periods rather than undergoing regular use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it often leads to secondary issues like perished rubber, fluid degradation, and brake corrosion due to lack of motion. A buyer must physically inspect the engine loom to ensure the repair to the electrical wiring is robust and that no further corrosion is present elsewhere. Given the low usage, the inspector should check for flat spots on the tyres, seized brake calipers, and signs of fluid leaks from seals. The lack of advisories for structural rust or suspension wear across the history is positive, but the stationary nature of the car necessitates a thorough check of components that have not been regularly exercised.
