2021 Ford Fiesta Active Edition T Mhev 1.0L Petrol · OY21 XSW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance record shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and tyre condition. The most recent test in September 2025 at 20,902 miles passed but highlighted an increase in minor defect advisories compared to the previous year's results. While the car continues to pass, the persistence of specific mechanical issues indicates that components are reaching the end of their initial service life despite the low overall mileage. At 20,902 miles over five years, this Fiesta has covered a low distance, averaging approximately 4,180 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between tests, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between 2023 and 2024, and another 5,000 miles between September 2024 and 2025. However, low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components due to age, which aligns with the recurring tyre perishing and minor damage noted in the MOT history. A physical inspection must focus on the rear shock absorbers. The light misting of oil noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggests a slow seal leak that will likely progress to a full failure soon. The buyer should also inspect all four tyres, as the 2025 report flagged cracking and perishing across the axle, indicating the rubber is becoming brittle from age rather than tread wear. Additionally, the recurring windscreen damage, first noted in 2023, should be checked to ensure the crack has not spread into the driver's field of view or compromised structural integrity.
