2002 FORD FIESTA1.4L Petrol

The September 2021 MOT at 113,820 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Ford Fiesta is presently roadworthy and indicating a stable maintenance trend after the earlier failure on the same date. The vehicle, a 2002 model now 24 years old, has accumulated 113,820 miles, equating to roughly 4,742 miles per year, which is low for its age. Mileage rose from 88,719 miles in December 2014 to 101,528 miles by January 2018, then jumped to 111,351 miles in September 2020, and finally to 113,820 miles in September 2021, showing a period of accelerated use between 2018 and 2020 followed by reduced annual mileage. Recurring issues such as tyre perishing, worn brake discs, and previous suspension ball‑joint play suggest that the owner has not consistently addressed wear items, and the earlier exhaust corrosion points to potential structural rust that may affect the chassis. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, brake discs and pads, tyre tread and sidewalls, and inspect the exhaust and chassis for rust or damage. Given the history of tyre wear close to the legal limit and the documented structural rust, the vehicle merits a thorough in‑person inspection of the braking system, suspension components, and any signs of chassis corrosion before purchase.
