1991 FORD FIESTA1.1L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 March 2026 at 5,213 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on the surface, although the record shows a failure on 13 January 2026. The lack of listed defects for that failure is atypical and suggests an administrative error or a failure on a point not detailed in the summary. The mileage history is highly irregular and raises significant concerns regarding the odometer's accuracy. The car recorded 68,159 miles in January 2023, increased to 79,535 miles by January 2024, and reached 91,523 miles in January 2025. However, the most recent entries from January and March 2026 show a sudden drop to 5,101 and 5,213 miles respectively. This indicates either a clockwise odometer rollover, a replacement instrument cluster, or an incorrect entry by the tester. A buyer must scrutinize the vehicle for signs of long-term standing or hidden corrosion, as the current low mileage reading contradicts the 2023 to 2025 data. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for flat spots or perishing, as these are common issues when a vehicle sits idle. Given the age of this Ford Fiesta, a thorough check of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and floor pans, is essential to ensure no significant rust has developed. Verify the actual mileage with the seller to resolve the discrepancy between the 91,523 miles recorded in 2025 and the 5,213 miles recorded in 2026. Check the service history for any mention of a dashboard replacement. If the vehicle has indeed covered over 90,000 miles, the buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension bushes and engine mounts for wear.
