2005 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · HX55 AAO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the September 12 2022 MOT at 200,691 miles with only a minor advisory concerning offside front seat belt webbing. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, with each annual test passing despite recurring advisories on structural corrosion and brake components. Mileage has risen from 100,875 miles in December 2012 to 200,691 miles in September 2022, an average of roughly 9,500 miles per year, matching the typical usage for a 21‑year‑old Fiesta. The interval between the 2015 and 2016 tests is one year, and the subsequent yearly entries from 2016 to 2022 show consistent annual testing, indicating no prolonged periods of inactivity. Recurring defects include severe chassis corrosion noted in 2020 and 2019, persistent corrosion of rear and front brake pipes from 2016 onward, and repeated corrosion of coil springs on both near and offside rear positions, indicating ongoing exposure to moisture and possible neglect of under‑body protection. A buyer should therefore inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and sub‑frame for rust penetration, examine the condition of the brake pipes and calipers for binding or leakage, verify the integrity of suspension bushes and coil springs, and check the seat belt webbing for fraying, as these items have repeatedly appeared on the MOT record.
