2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · R7 FBL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the recent test in January 2026 at 44,154 miles passed, the tester flagged the front brake discs as worn, pitted or scored. This indicates a departure from the clean records seen in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the braking system is now reaching the end of its effective service life. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered roughly 6,400 miles, followed by another 6,400 miles in the following year. The failure in January 2025 at 36,396 miles, caused by an offside front tyre with a tread depth below the legal limit and a nearside tyre showing uneven edge wear, suggests that the previous owner occasionally neglected basic consumable maintenance until prompted by an MOT failure. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking assembly to determine the extent of the pitting on the discs and the remaining thickness of the pads. Given the uneven wear noted in the 2025 failure, a check of the front suspension for alignment issues or worn bushes is necessary to prevent further tyre degradation. The history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, but the recent transition from clean records to brake component wear marks the vehicle as entering a phase requiring more frequent attention to wear items.
