2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WN19 OPG

The most recent MOT on 15 July 2026 was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently satisfies the legal safety standards. Over the six‑year MOT record the majority of tests have been passes, with the only failure occurring in July 2024 due to a severe cut on the nearside front tyre and an adjacent tyre worn on the inner edge. The presence of advisories in 2025 concerning front brake disc wear and rear tyre condition shows that some components have required attention, but the successful 2026 test suggests that those issues have been remedied and the overall maintenance trend is now stable after a brief period of deterioration. At 58 330 miles the Fiesta averages roughly 8 300 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the typical UK usage pattern for a seven‑year‑old hatchback. There are no large mileage gaps in the recorded history, implying regular use rather than prolonged storage. The modest annual accumulation means that wear on major consumables such as the clutch, timing chain and suspension bushes should be moderate, but the vehicle is now approaching the mileage where components like the rear suspension bushings, engine mounts and exhaust hangers often begin to show age‑related fatigue. When inspecting the car, give particular focus to the tyre set. Although the 2025 advisories and the 2024 failure were apparently addressed, tyres can still perish with age; check all sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, and verify that the tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm uniformly across the tread width. During a test drive listen for any thumping or vibration that could indicate uneven tyre wear or a mis‑aligned wheel, and feel for pull or vibration under braking that would point to residual brake disc glazing or uneven pad wear. Examine the front inner brake disc for surface pitting and confirm that the pads have adequate material left; any shudder or pulsation when applying the brakes should be investigated further. Inspect the suspension by applying gentle pressure over each wheel corner; any excessive bounce, clunking, or looseness may reveal worn coil springs, bushings or shock absorber leakage. Finally, verify the condition of time‑sensitive items that are not mileage‑driven. A seven‑year‑old battery should be tested for cranking voltage and checked for any signs of sulphation or terminal corrosion. Look for any fluid leaks around the engine bay, especially coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid, as seals can harden with age. Confirm that the service book shows regular oil changes and that the timing belt (or chain) service interval recommended by Ford has been observed, typically at 60 000 miles for this model. A visual inspection of the under‑carriage for rust, especially around the wheel arches and suspension mounting points, will help ensure that prolonged standing has not compromised structural integrity. If these checks are satisfactory, the Fiesta presents a mechanically sound option for a buyer seeking a low‑mileage, well‑maintained small car.
