 Tyre tread - RattleandSmoke
I thought six years was considered the safe limit? Although in four years time I should be on 20k if I still have the car, so it will need new front tyres by then anyway. I expect the rears might give 30-40k.

Cerainly the cheap Nexen on the back of the Fiesta was on it when we bought it three and a half years ago, it was new then (previous owner put it on pass the MOT) has done 32,000 miles and it still has plenty of tread. The front ones barely seem to last 10k. They are down to about 2.5mm-3mm now but as longs as they stay legal to the next MOT they will have to do. No point spending money on a 13 year old car Fiesta.
