Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Ford Fiesta ST Line Vignale T MHEV?

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Ford Fiesta ST Line Vignale T MHEV?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.
