2003 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GN53 AEP

The most recent MOT test on 15 October 2021 at 121,213 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's documented roadworthiness status as clean at that point. Across the available history from August 2019 to October 2021 the mechanical trend is stable, with no advisories or faults logged on any pass. Two failures precede those passes on 14 September 2020 and 14 October 2021, yet the tester recorded no defects on either occasion. That pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues rather than worsening mechanical condition. The absence of fresh data for nearly five years to today's date of 16 July 2026 means current condition cannot be confirmed from this record alone. Mileage accumulation sits low for a 2003 hatchback. The odometer read 116,766 miles at the 22 August 2019 test, rose to 118,263 miles by the 14 September 2020 failure, and reached 121,213 miles at the 15 October 2021 pass. That equates to roughly 1,500 miles in the first interval and 2,950 in the second, an average below 3,000 miles per year. Such light use over 18 years implies the Fiesta may have spent extended periods stationary. The record is sparse, containing only five entries, and shows no rapid accumulation or major gaps beyond the unexplained next-day retests. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, exhaust emissions or structural integrity concerns appear in the DVSA logs. The clean sheet offers no recurring fault trend to track. Previous owners cleared the two fails within a day each time, which hints at minor consumable items such as wiper blades or lamp faults being corrected off-record, or simple clerical reversal. A buyer should still treat the car as a 23-year-old vehicle and inspect in person for aged rubber, rusted sills, seized handbrake mechanisms and degraded fuel lines that low mileage and standing exacerbate.
