2020 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Edition T Mhev 1.0L Petrol · YS70 LME

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite minor signs of component wear. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 19,542 miles resulted in a pass but noted oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. While this indicates the beginning of a seal failure, it does not represent an immediate mechanical failure and suggests the vehicle is being monitored rather than neglected. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,257 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 16,810 miles and October 2024 at 18,830 miles, the car covered only 2,020 miles. This low usage suggests the car has been sparingly, which typically preserves the integrity of the drivetrain and suspension components. However, such low mileage patterns can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the nearside rear shock absorber to determine if the oil misting has progressed to a leak that requires replacement. The 2024 advisory regarding a sidewall cut on the nearside front outer tyre indicates the vehicle has encountered kerbs or debris, so the remaining tyres should be checked for similar structural damage. Given the low annual mileage, the brake discs should be examined for surface rust or pitting, which is common on vehicles that are not driven frequently enough to keep the rotors clean.
