FORD FIESTA2003 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean testing record over the last three years. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 95,761 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following similar clean results in late 2024 and 2022. This consistent performance suggests that the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum safety requirements, and there is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or a worsening trend in component degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle from 2003, averaging approximately 4,164 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 16,797 miles, showing a consistent annual usage rate of roughly 5,600 miles recently. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber-based parts. The lack of defects indicates the car has remained operational despite its age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and rubber components, as 23-year-old chassis are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Check the underside for sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points for structural rust. Given the low usage, inspect the suspension bushes and brake hoses for cracking or dry rot, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. The single recorded failure in 2023 for a nearside front headlamp was a minor electrical issue that was rectified immediately and does not indicate a deeper mechanical neglect.
