2022 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Edition T Mhev 1.0L Petrol · MW71 BDY

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-12 showed the vehicle passed with three tyres exhibiting superficial cuts to the sidewall, none of which reached the ply or cords. A rear registration plate was noted as deteriorated but not likely to cause misreading. These issues align with the 2025-01-22 MOT, which also recorded tyre damage, including a nearside front tyre with cracking or perishing sidewall and another with a shallow cut. The pattern of tyre-related defects suggests a recurring issue with tyre condition, likely due to age or storage conditions rather than heavy usage. The 2026 MOT shows no new critical failures, but the same type of tyre damage reoccurred, indicating a persistent vulnerability. The trend appears stable, with no escalation in severity. The vehicle’s mileage of 16,037 miles over four years equates to roughly 4,009 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or periods of inactivity, which may contribute to tyre perishing or degradation. However, the absence of major defects in other systems (brakes, suspension, exhaust, etc.) suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy wear. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the tyres for further cracking, bulges, or uneven wear, as these could indicate hidden damage.
