2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SV68 HHJ

The 2025‑09‑24 MOT at 44,994 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. The preceding 2024‑09‑25 test at 40,087 miles also passed defect‑free, while the 2023‑09‑26 test showed tyre wear but no structural failures. At seven years old, the Fiesta has accumulated roughly 6,400 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical usage; the interval between the 2022‑02‑16 test (25,803 miles) and the 2025‑09‑24 test (44,994 miles) represents an average increase of about 6,050 miles per year, with no extended periods of inactivity evident in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring tyre issues – the off‑side rear tyre has shown cracking and perishing since 2022, and all tyres have repeatedly approached the legal limit, suggesting the need for a detailed tread depth measurement and inspection of sidewall condition. The 2022‑11‑01 record noted a worn, pitted front brake disc, indicating potential caliper binding or uneven wear that warrants a visual and functional brake inspection. Previous advisories on suspension bushes and the 2022‑02‑16 note of a child seat obstructing the adult belt imply the need to examine rear suspension components and ensure the seat does not impede full inspection of the seat belt. Finally, the repeated tyre damage and the absence of corrosion advisories suggest the chassis is sound, but a thorough visual check for rust on the wheel arches, sills and underbody is advisable, along with a test of the exhaust emissions and verification that the suspension bushes are not excessively worn.
