2002 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · GK02 ABV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 10 March 2026 at 52,073 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a pattern of immediate rectifications where the car failed just one mile prior to its latest pass. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing recorded faults immediately upon discovery, ensuring the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards without lingering defects on the test sheet. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,170 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 3,427 miles, while the period between March 2025 and March 2026 saw 2,619 miles. This consistent low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such long periods of inactivity can often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown that is not captured by mileage alone. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the chassis and sills, as older Fiesta models are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. While the MOT record shows no current defects, the low usage increases the risk of seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes from lack of movement. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting and check the braking system for binding, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related component failure rather than mechanical wear.
