2019 Ford Fiesta Trend 1.1L Petrol · SW69 OLP

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive consumable component replacement. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 56,319 miles flagged thin wear on both the nearside and offside front brake pads. This indicates that while the vehicle passed the inspection, it is entering a phase where routine friction components require immediate attention to prevent failure in subsequent tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable jump in usage between the August 2022 test at 4,282 miles and the 2023 test at 21,778 miles, representing over 17,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the accumulation has stabilised to roughly 17,000 miles annually. This increase in mileage after the early years of low usage explains the appearance of wear on tyres and brakes noted in the later records. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the thin pads have not caused scoring or damage to the discs. The 2024 test at 38,929 miles highlighted perishing and cracking on the rear tyres, which often suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or been exposed to harsh elements. Check the sidewalls of all four tyres for dry rot, regardless of remaining tread depth. Since no structural corrosion or suspension defects were recorded across the history, the mechanical integrity of the chassis appears sound, provided the aforementioned wear items are addressed.
