2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MW69 KFC

The vehicle currently fails the MOT on 2026-05-22, indicating a failure in its mechanical condition at this time. While the 2025-01-02 test passed, the 2026-05-22 test reveals critical defects including windscreen wiper blade failure and offside rear shock absorbers with oil mist, suggesting the mechanical condition has deteriorated significantly since the 2025-01-02 pass. This marks a clear worsening trend compared to the 2024-01-04 test, where the same component was only noted for light misting, indicating that the issue has progressed from minor wear to a more serious mechanical failure. Regarding mileage, the 2020 FORD FIESTA is approximately 6 years old with 51,614 recorded miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns. However, the 2026-05-22 test shows rapid mileage accumulation relative to the 2025-01-02 test, which passed 46,892 miles. This rapid increase suggests that the vehicle is being driven more frequently than usual, accelerating wear on suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts. The 2024-01-04 test only recorded 41,032 miles, highlighting a gap in maintenance that would cause the car to fail again soon if this trend continues without intervention. Given the recurring faults on the offside rear shock absorbers and the windscreen wiper blade, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of these specific components. The oil mist on the shock absorbers indicates that the rubber bushings are failing, which is a serious structural risk requiring replacement. The windscreen wiper blade defect is also a consumable wear item that must be addressed to prevent further failure. Additionally, the offside rear and front tyres are worn close to the legal limit, which could lead to a complete loss of traction if not repaired immediately. The front brake disc and pad thinning are also concerning, as they may be prone to cracking or overheating under high mileage.
