2019 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Petrol · SY19 FBU

The June 2025 test at 38,697 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, confirming the Fiesta currently meets minimum roadworthiness standards. A stable maintenance trend is evident across the last three annual tests, each passing without recorded faults. The single anomaly appears in July 2024 when the vehicle failed and passed a retest on the same day at 32,438 miles; however, the supplied data lists no specific defect codes for either entry, suggesting a minor rectification such as a bulb or wiper blade that left no lasting trace on the record. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 5,500 miles per year, low for a 2019 model, and the progression between tests is consistent: 19,379 miles in June 2022, 25,653 miles in June 2023, 32,438 miles in July 2024, and 38,697 miles in June 2025. This regular annual cycle points to steady, light use rather than periods of storage or erratic driving patterns. The absence of advisories across five consecutive tests indicates consumable items such as tyres and brake pads have remained well above legal limits throughout this period. Low annual mileage shifts the primary risk profile from wear to age-related degradation. Rubber components — brake hoses, suspension bushes, and tyre sidewalls — tend to perish through oxidation rather than friction on this usage profile. Brake discs and calipers are prone to surface corrosion and seizure when a car covers only short trips, so verify the discs are free of heavy pitting and that the calipers slide freely. Fluid change intervals for brake fluid and coolant become time-critical rather than mileage-dependent; confirm service records show biennial brake fluid changes. Finally, inspect the underbody and structural mounting points for early signs of corrosion, as the clean MOT history guarantees only that no perforation existed at the test dates, not that protective coatings remain intact.
