2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · J327 MVS

The 2004 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 5 July 2023 at 147,160 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior examinations show the same pattern of clean results, with passes logged on 30 June 2021 at 142,099 miles and 29 June 2022 at 144,798 miles. The maintenance history indicates consistent statutory compliance with no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults carried across the record. The odometer shows roughly 6,689 miles covered per year against the vehicle's 22-year lifespan, a figure in line with typical use for this age of supermini. Between the June 2021 test and the June 2022 test the car added 2,699 miles, then a further 2,362 miles to the July 2023 examination. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing periods, and the duplicate 29 June 2022 entries where a failure with no defects recorded preceded the same-day pass suggest an administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 147,160 miles of service. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns, yet 22-year-old Ford chassis commonly develop hidden rust at sills and subframes unseen in a static test. Given the absence of recorded advisories across four years, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline. Verify in person that tyres, wiper blades, and consumable items match the clean record before purchase.
