2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WF20 DLX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 June 2026 with 12,140 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a clear transition from recurring consumable issues in previous years to a clean sheet in the latest two tests. This suggests that the owner has recently addressed the mechanical safety concerns previously flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 9,407 miles and June 2026 at 12,140 miles, the car covered only 2,733 miles. While this indicates minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between use often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components which age by time rather than distance. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the tyres despite the recent MOT pass. The 2023 test at 9,407 miles flagged all four tyres as perished and cracking, and the 2024 test at 10,351 miles noted a nail in the offside rear tyre. Because rubber dries out and cracks when a vehicle sits, the current tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking or flat spots that a standard MOT test might not fully capture. The low mileage also necessitates a check of the braking system and suspension components. Brake discs can develop corrosion and calipers can seize when a car is not driven for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking and ensure the brake fluid has not absorbed moisture. Since the record shows no structural rust or mechanical failures, the primary risks remain linked to the effects of long-term storage and low usage.
