2019 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Petrol · Y3 FLA

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident across the five recorded tests, though the most recent inspection on 04 September 2026 introduced the first recorded advisories regarding tyre condition. While the vehicle has maintained a clean record of passes without failures since its first recorded test in 2022, the emergence of tyre-related advisories suggests that consumable wear is becoming a factor. The transition from zero defects in 2025 to the current advisories for a nail in the nearside rear tyre and an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the inner edge marks a shift in the vehicle's recent mechanical profile. The recorded mileage of 33,432 miles against a seven-year age profile indicates a low annual usage rate of approximately 4,776 miles. This level of mileage is significantly below the UK average, which typically suggests less frequent mechanical wear on drivetrain components, suspension linkages, and braking systems. However, such low annual accumulation can sometimes mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may affect the condition of rubber components and seals, though the MOT history does not explicitly record any failures related to long-term storage or fluid leaks. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre advisories noted in the September 2026 test. The mention of the offside front tyre being worn on the inner edge is a specific indicator that warrants investigation into the vehicle's wheel alignment or suspension geometry. During a test drive, you should check for any steering pull to one side or a tendency for the car to drift when the steering wheel is released on a level surface. Additionally, uneven tyre wear can sometimes be linked to worn suspension bushes or incorrect camber settings, so listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps. The presence of a nail in the nearside rear tyre should be addressed immediately to prevent a potential rapid loss of pressure or a blowout. Beyond the tyres, the lack of recorded defects regarding brake pipes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion in the MOT history means the primary focus for an inspection should remain on the consumables and the alignment issues flagged. Ensure that the steering feels precise and that there is no vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds, which could further indicate tyre issues or underlying suspension wear.
