2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · VL19 OVN

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor decline in braking component condition. The most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 17,921 miles resulted in an advisory for rear brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates that the metal is beginning to surface degrade, likely due to the vehicle's low usage patterns. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,560 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 15,344 miles and the September 2025 test at 17,921 miles, the vehicle covered 2,577 miles. This consistency suggests the car is used for short trips or sits for long periods, which often leads to the specific type of surface rust and pitting on brake components noted in the latest MOT record. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the rear braking system to determine if the pitting on the discs has progressed to requiring immediate replacement. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for flat spots on tyres and perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and brake hoses, which can degrade from age rather than mechanical wear. Verify the chassis for any surface corrosion that may occur when a vehicle remains stationary in damp environments.
