2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · PL68 AHY

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT test on 24 January 2026 at 46,240 miles indicates a regression in consumable upkeep. While the car passed the inspection, the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 42,006 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has recently required attention to its tyre tread or alignment. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 46,240 miles since its inception, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression through the annual tests, with 4,504 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026, and 5,504 miles recorded between January 2024 and January 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is driven frequently enough to avoid the common mechanical issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and front-end geometry. The January 2023 test at 31,320 miles highlighted significant wear across all four brake pads and both front tyres. Although the 2025 test showed no defects, the recurrence of tyre wear issues in the 2026 test implies a potential trend regarding front-end maintenance or wheel alignment. I recommend checking the condition of the front suspension components and checking for uneven tyre wear to rule out worn bushes or incorrect camber settings. The 2024 advisory regarding items removed from the driver's view is a minor housekeeping matter and does not indicate a mechanical fault. However, given the history of thin brake pads and worn tyres, a thorough inspection of the remaining brake pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs is necessary to ensure no accelerated wear has occurred since the last recorded advisory.
