1991 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · J475 CKS

The 1991 Ford Fiesta failed its most recent MOT on 28 May 2024 at 32,178 miles, with no defects formally recorded by the tester. This single failed test, with no advisories or listed faults, leaves the roadworthiness status unverified and the maintenance trend impossible to classify as stable, worsening, or improving from the data alone. The absence of recorded defects on a fail suggests an administrative or unlogged technical issue rather than a clean pass, and the buyer must treat the car as unroadworthy until proven otherwise. Recorded mileage stands at 32,178 miles against roughly 35 years of age, equating to about 919 miles per year. The MOT history shows only the May 2024 entry, so no earlier tests survive in the supplied record. Such low annual use over a long period implies the vehicle spent much of its life stationary or on short local runs, which typically accelerates corrosion on structural members and allows brake calipers, suspension bushes, and tyres to degrade through age rather than wear. Given the blank defect field on the 2024 failure, a physical inspection must cover the full structural integrity of the chassis and sills for rust, plus the braking system for seized calipers or worn discs. The tester logged no advisories, yet a 1991 Fiesta at this age demands close checking of exhaust emissions, coil springs, and steering joints for fatigue. A buyer should commission a independent pre-purchase examination before any sale. The sparse record offers no evidence of ongoing care or recurring faults, but the failed test at 32,178 miles means the previous owner did not present a roadworthy vehicle two years ago relative to today's date.
