2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · RO70 VTM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-05-27 with a minor tyre cut on the nearside rear, which did not reach the ply or cords. This follows a failed MOT on 2026-05-22, where the same tyre had a deeper cut and the nearside front tyre showed damage or perishing. No prior MOTs since 2023 recorded defects, suggesting a recent deterioration in tyre condition. The recurring tyre issues indicate a worsening trend, particularly on the nearside rear and front wheels. This pattern raises concerns about potential underinflation, improper alignment, or exposure to road hazards, which could accelerate wear. The failure in May 2026 highlights a critical safety risk, as deep cuts or perishing tyres can lead to blowouts or loss of control. The mileage of 49,335 miles over six years (roughly 8,222 miles per year) aligns with typical usage. This suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear from heavy use, but it also means components like suspension, brakes, and drivetrain may show age-related wear. Lower mileage could imply periods of inactivity, which might contribute to corrosion or rubber degradation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the tyres for cuts, cracks, or uneven wear, focusing on the nearside rear and front.
