2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · ML69 AAF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical oversight. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 62,369 miles, this success followed a significant failure just one day prior. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple critical failures in 2025 indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance, where faults are only addressed when they prevent a legal test pass. At 62,369 miles over seven years, the Fiesta averages approximately 8,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK domestic usage patterns. The mileage data shows steady progression between 2022 and 2024, where the car covered roughly 19,000 miles in two years. However, the 5,769 miles driven between the September 2024 and September 2025 coincides with the sudden appearance of mechanical defects, suggesting that wear-and-tear items reached the end of their service life without prior replacement during that interval. A buyer must physically inspect the steering and braking systems due to the recurring issues flagged in 2025. The tester noted a slight knock in the steering and a stiff offside rear wheel, which often points to a seized caliper or a failing wheel bearing. Furthermore, the insecure status of both front flexi brake hoses is a specific safety concern that must be verified as properly secured or replaced to prevent sudden pressure loss. The history also highlights poor tyre management, as evidenced by the offside front tyre showing zero tread on the inner edge in late 2025. This uneven wear pattern suggests incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes that require a professional diagnostic check. While the electrical faults like the washer jets and repeater were resolved for the October 2025 pass, the mechanical symptoms in the suspension and braking assembly remain the primary areas of risk for a potential purchaser.
