2020 Ford Fiesta Trend Turbo 1.0L Petrol · RE20 XPP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 35,309 miles, it failed just four days prior at 35,222 miles due to critical safety defects including a faulty seat belt and a sidewall cut on the nearside front tyre. The recurring mention of worn brake components across multiple tests suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they threaten an MOT pass. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,885 miles per year. Data shows a gap of 11,039 miles between June 2023 and August 2024, followed by another 8,911 miles in the following year. While this low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between services can lead to rubber component degradation and surface corrosion, which is consistent with the previously misted rear shock absorber noted back in 2023. A buyer must closely inspect the front braking system, as the record shows discs have been worn and lipped with pads more than two-thirds consumed since at least August 2024. The persistence of this issue into 2025 suggests the components are long overdue. You should also verify the offside rear seat belt function to ensure the previous failure point was properly rectified, and check the rear tyres for depth, as they were flagged as getting low during the most recent inspection.
