2002 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · DV52 AAN

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile, though the MOT record is significantly outdated. The most recent recorded test occurred on 2 December 2022 at 64,738 miles, where the car initially failed due to an incorrect nearside front headlamp beam aim and thin front brake pads. It passed immediately following these repairs. Given that today is 29 July 2026, the vehicle has been without a valid MOT for over three and a half years, meaning its current roadworthiness cannot be verified through official records. The mileage pattern indicates very low usage for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,697 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, slow accumulation of distance, moving from 20,794 miles in October 2010 to 64,738 miles by December 2022. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components, the long intervals between tests and the extended period of inactivity since late 2022 suggest the car may have spent significant time stationary. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and lighting, as the 2022 test flagged thinning front pads and headlamp alignment issues. Because the vehicle has likely been sitting idle for several years, the inspector should specifically check for seized brake calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, and degraded tyre sidewalls. The lack of recent testing also necessitates a thorough check for corrosion on the underside and exhaust system, as low-mileage cars often suffer from moisture buildup and surface rust when not driven regularly.
