1993 FORD FIESTA1.1L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently unverified as the MOT record has lapsed for over seventeen years. The last recorded test took place on 31 December 2009 at 69,589 miles, where the car passed following an initial failure for a split nearside front constant velocity joint gaiter. Since no tests have been performed since that date, there is no documented evidence to confirm the current mechanical integrity, structural soundness, or emissions compliance. The maintenance trend prior to 2009 appears stable, but the extreme hiatus renders the historical data obsolete. The vehicle shows exceptionally low mileage figures for its 33-year age, averaging only approximately 2,100 miles per year. Between December 2007 and December 2009, the car covered just 8,491 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long-term stationary often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid-related issues. Dry seals can perish, and brake calipers can seize due to lack of heat and operation. A physical inspection must prioritize the components most affected by years of inactivity. The 2007 failure highlighted a deteriorated offside front suspension arm bush and rough nearside rear wheel bearing, both of which should be checked for current play or perished rubber. Given the age of the Fiesta, the buyer must meticulously inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly in the sills and wing arches, as these are common failure points for this generation. The exhaust system, which suffered a major leak in 2007, also requires a thorough check for thinning or rust that may have developed during the decades of neglect.
