2004 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CN54 ATY

The 2004 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 23 April 2024 at 148,930 miles, with the underlying maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its final test with no defects logged, though two earlier failures on 11 April 2024 and 10 March 2023 both closed with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or wear-related items appear anywhere in the five-year trail. Recorded mileage sits at 148,930 against an approximate 22-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,770 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a small hatchback of this era. The odometer moved just 4,262 miles between the March 2022 pass at 140,453 and the March 2023 test at 144,668, then added 4,262 miles again to the April 2024 pass at 148,930. Such low annual accumulation suggests gentle commuting rather than harsh duty, though the sparse record leaves 2019 through 2021 unaccounted for. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any advisory capture that might mask gradual degradation. The clean MOT sheet does not exempt the Fiesta from age-related corrosion on sills or subframes, so underside structural integrity warrants close scrutiny on the ramp. Previous owners appear to have kept the vehicle to a basic legal standard with no flagged neglect of consumables such as tyres or wiper blades across the visible record. The repeated no-defect failures hint at test centre paperwork mismatches rather than skipped upkeep, but confirming service history remains sensible before purchase.
