2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MW20 NHH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a gradual progression of consumable wear requiring immediate attention. In the most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 17,579 miles, the car passed despite advisories for all four tyres being close to the legal limit and thin rear brake pads. This indicates that while the vehicle remains safe for the road, several friction components are reaching the end of their service life simultaneously. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, recording only 17,579 miles as of the latest inspection. This represents an average usage of approximately 2,930 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. However, the intervals between tests, such as the 2,525-mile gap between August 2023 and August 2024, suggest the car sits for long periods of inactivity. This can often ( to specific degradation of rubber components rather than traditional mechanical wear. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and braking system. The August 2024 test at 15,658 miles flagged sidewall cracking and perishing across all tyres, a common issue with low-mileage vehicles that remain stationary for long durations. Furthermore, the pitted and scored rear discs noted in 2024, combined with the thin pads in 2025, suggest the rear braking assembly requires replacement to ensure optimal performance. The suspension also warrants scrutiny following the misting of rear shock artwork noted during the August 2023 test at 13,133 miles. While this did not result in a failure, the buyer should monitor these units to ensure the seals have not degraded to a significant leak. Given the low mileage, the primary focus should remain on the age-related deterioration of rubber and the state of the brakes rather than high-mileage engine fatigue.
