1993 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

The 2025-10-29 MOT at 86,925 miles confirmed the 1993 Ford Fiesta as roadworthy, with the tester recording no defects. All subsequent tests from 2022 onward have passed without recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance record. The vehicle’s 86,925 miles at 33 years old translate to an average of 2,634 miles per year, a figure that reflects relatively light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose from 70,961 miles in November 2022 to 86,925 miles by October 2025, an increase of 15,964 miles over roughly three years, averaging just over 5,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical wear patterns and shows no abrupt jumps. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that commonly show age‑related wear: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or loss of damping, binding rear brake calipers and worn brake discs for uneven pad wear, and structural rust around the wheel arches, chassis rails and underbody for compromised integrity. The exhaust system should also be examined for corrosion and emission compliance, while tyre tread and wiper blade condition, though consumable, merit visual inspection. Overall, the MOT history demonstrates consistent, defect‑free operation, but the car’s age and low annual mileage suggest that hidden corrosion and component fatigue may still be present; a thorough physical inspection covering the items listed is essential before purchase.
