2002 FORD FIESTA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test on 9 January 2026 at 55,992 miles. This result indicates that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. While a failure was recorded on 17 January 2025 at 51,753 miles, the immediate retest on the same day suggests the owner addressed the defect promptly without any recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,333 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered only 465 miles, while a larger 3,500 miles occurred between the April 2024 and January 2025 tests. This low usage frequency typically means less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown, which can manifest as age-related wear rather than mileage-related fatigue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Ford Fuestas of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer must check for perished tyres and seized brake calipers that may have oxidized despite sufficient tread depth. Inspecting the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking is essential, as these components degrade over time even when the vehicle is not driven frequently.
