2021 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Petrol · MX21 XHC

A consistent history of roadworthiness is evident from three recorded tests, although the latest inspection on 2026-02-23 introduced a specific advisory regarding tyre wear. Prior to this, the vehicle passed its 2024 and 2025 tests without any defects or advisories, indicating a stable mechanical state until the most recent emergence of tyre degradation. With 53,662 miles recorded over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,732 miles per year. This usage pattern is typical for its age and suggests a regular cycle of use rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessive long-distance hauling. Mechanically, this level of accumulation typically correlates with standard wear on consumables such as brake pads and suspension components. The primary area for inspection is the rear axle and tyre condition, as the February 2026 test flagged both rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit with uneven outer edge wear. This specific pattern of wear often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes at the rear. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for unusual road noise from the rear and check for any instability or drifting when travelling at cruising speeds. A physical inspection of the rear tyres should be conducted to verify if the uneven wear persists or if the tyres have since been replaced. If the original tyres are still fitted, check for scrubbing on the outer shoulders, which may necessitate a four-wheel alignment check to ensure the rear tracking is correct. Beyond the tyres, the absence of previous brake or suspension advisories suggests a relatively clean record, but the current tyre wear remains the only documented mechanical risk.
