2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MW69 AEC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding rubber-related components. The most recent test in December 2025 at 12,277 miles passed with advisories for a deteriorated rear registration plate and a perishing nearside rear tyre. These issues represent a progression from the December 2024 test, where three out of four tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,754 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 8,077 miles and December 2025 at 12,277 miles, the car covered only 4,200 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between use often lead to the degradation of materials through oxidation, which is clearly evident in the recent MOT history. A buyer must personally inspect the physical condition of all four tyres, as the recurring advisories for perishing in both 2024 and 2025 indicate the rubber is reaching its terminal life due to age rather than tread depth. The deteriorated registration plate also requires replacement to ensure legal visibility standards. Given the low-mileage profile, the inspection should check for brake corrosion on the discs and potential seized calipers, as these are common faults for vehicles that sit for long periods without regular use.
