2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MT20 DDL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 27 May 2026 at 67,875 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just one day prior. That failure identified a structural tear in the offside rear inner tyre and a distorted offside front road wheel. While the immediate safety-critical issues were rectified, the recurring nature of tyre-related defects suggests the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT pass result. The mileage progression is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. Between the 38,380 miles in July 2024 and 52,901 miles in June 2025, the car covered 14,521 miles in a year, followed by another 14,974 miles leading up to the May 2026 test. This indicates regular high-mile use which typically places expected wear on components such as the braking system and suspension bushings. A buyer must personally inspect the tyres and wheels closely, as the record shows a persistent history of cuts and structural damage across multiple axles. The distorted offside front road wheel noted in May 2026 indicates a past impact, which warrants a thorough check for bent suspension arms or damage to the geometry. Furthermore, the June 2025 failure for thin brake pads and low coolant levels suggests that basic fluid checks and consumable inspections were neglected. Verify the current state of the brake system and check for any leaks in the cooling system to ensure these issues have been properly resolved.
