1990 FORD FIESTA1.1L PETROL

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy due to a complete lack of MOT testing for over two decades. The last recorded test in August 2005 resulted in a comprehensive failure involving multiple critical safety and structural defects. Given that no tests have been performed since the 2005 entry, there is no evidence to suggest the current state of the vehicle or even a stable maintenance trend. The record is effectively non-existent for the last twenty years. At 75,343 miles, the car shows an exceptionally low mileage profile for its age, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear, long periods of inactivity frequently lead to degradation of rubber-based components and internal engine corrosion. The significant gap between the 2005 test and the present day indicates the vehicle has likely sat stationary for many years, which significantly increases the risk of seized components and perished seals or brake lines. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis and body. The 2005 failure identified excessive corrosion affecting strength within 30cm of the body mountings on both the nearside and offside front. A buyer must verify if these areas have progressed into through-bolts or structural failure. Additionally, the deteriorated suspension arm rubber bushes noted in the past require a fresh check, as rubber will have likely perished due to age regardless of the low mileage. The braking system and electrical components require thorough scrutiny. The 2005 record flagged a weakened nearside front brake disc and multiple lighting failures. Because the vehicle has not been tested in twenty years, the brake calipers are likely seized and the wiring loom may suffer from brittleness or corrosion. Without a comprehensive mechanical overhaul and structural survey, the vehicle represents a high-risk purchase for any buyer.
