2004 FORD FIESTA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT test on 28 August 2025 at 57,378 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has achieved consecutive clean passes over the last two years. While the record shows a failure on the same day as the 2025 pass, the immediate retest success suggests the owner was proactive in addressing any identified faults to maintain a valid certificate. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between September 2023 and August 2025, the car covered 7,307 miles, indicating a consistent but light usage pattern rather than long-term storage or extended periods of neglect. This low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to average market examples. However, low usage on vehicles of this age can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to lack of movement. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and wheel arches, as Ford Fiesta models from this era are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle means that suspension bushes and shock mounts may have perished or cracked over time. You should also check the brakes for seized calipers or pitted discs, as low-frequency use often leads to surface rust and uneven braking performance if not used regularly.
