2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SF69 SMV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent pass in February 2026 at 38,988 miles. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the tester flagged three advisories regarding tyre condition, specifically noting cracking or perishing on the offside rear, offside front, and nearside rear tyres. This indicates the rubber is beginning to age and degrade, likely due to the vehicle's low annual usage rather than heavy tread wear. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2019 model, averaging approximately 5,570 miles per year. The records show a consistent upward trajectory from 16,790 miles in March 2022 to 38,988 miles in February 2026. This pattern of low mileage explains the recent tyre advisories, as tyres can perish from age and lack of movement even when tread depth remains sufficient. There are no significant gaps in the annual testing cycle, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in regular use or at least maintained through consistent annual inspections. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and tyre replacement. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of thinning brake pads, with failures or advisories recorded in February 2024 at 27,135 miles and February 2025 at 32,573 miles. While these are standard consumable wear items, the frequency suggests the pads may be nearing the end of their service life again. The February 2026 advisories regarding perishing tyres also suggest that a set of four new tyres will be a necessary near-term expenditure to ensure long-term structural integrity of the rubber. Beyond these consumables, the mechanical history appears clean. Aside from a one-off failure in March 2022 for low tyre tread and a failure in February 2024 for a non-functional windscreen washer, no serious issues regarding suspension, steering, or structural corrosion have surfaced. The absence of any advisories related to exhaust emissions or brake discs provides confidence in the core mechanical components.
