2021 Ford Fiesta ST Edition Turbo 1.5L Petrol · YJ70 UOB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on January 29 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The failure just one day prior to the pass at 31,512 miles resulted from both rear tyres having tread depths below the legal 1.6mm limit. While the immediate issue was rectified to secure the certificate, it indicates that the previous owner only addressed consumable replacements when forced by testing rather than monitoring wear between intervals. At 31,512 miles over five years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 6,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate UK usage patterns. The record shows consistent intervals between tests, with roughly 6,100 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 8,800 miles leading up to the most recent test. This low mileage suggests low mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though the recurring tyre issues suggest that basic upkeep tasks may have been neglected. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment in person. The February 2024 test at 16,567 miles flagged both front tyres as worn on the edge, which often points to incorrect camber settings or worn suspension bushes. Given that the rear tyres also suffered premature failure in early 2026, it is vital to check for uneven wear across the entire set to rule out persistent mechanical faults. There are no recorded structural corrosion or brake system defects in the history, so the focus remains on the condition of the rubber components and the quality of the currently fitted tyres.
