1992 Ford Fiesta 1.8L Petrol · J913 CYX

The 1992 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 April 2025 at 18,325 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean annual examinations since April 2022. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 34-year-old vehicle. Between the 27 April 2022 test at 15,438 miles and the 26 April 2023 test at 16,389 miles the car covered just 951 miles, and annual increments have stayed below 1,100 miles throughout. The DVSA log shows a failed entry on 27 April 2022 at 15,438 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No gaps exceed one year and the history is otherwise sparse and clean. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for age-related corrosion around structural mounting points and suspension subframes, as the MOT record does not detail underside condition beyond a pass result. Long periods of low use raise the risk of perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, degraded brake hoses, and sticking calipers that a static test may not expose. Verify the documented 18,325 miles against service stamps and V5C history, given the implausibly low annual average of roughly 539 miles. Check exhaust integrity, tyre sidewall condition, and brake disc surface for pitting caused by standing, since the clean MOT entries offer no evidence either way on these consumable items.
