FORD FIESTA1994 · 1.8L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy as it has not undergone a valid MOT test for nearly twenty years. The last recorded test occurred on November 20 2006, where the car passed with no defects noted. Because there is no data available since that date, it is impossible to establish a maintenance trend or verify the mechanical integrity of the vehicle's chassis and safety-critical systems over the last two decades. The recorded mileage of 4,187 miles over a 32-year span represents an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 131 miles per year. This extreme figure suggests the vehicle has spent vast periods in storage rather than in regular use. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks related to degraded rubber-based parts and fluids. The significant gap between the 2006 test and the present date indicates a complete lack of documented roadworthiness monitoring. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity, specifically looking for deep-seated corrosion which accelerates when a vehicle sits stationary. The rubber brake lines, suspension bushes, and tyre sidewalls likely to have perished or cracked, necessitating immediate replacement. The braking system needs to be checked for seized calipers and rusted discs due to the lack of friction. Furthermore, the fuel system and seals should be inspected for degradation before any attempt is made to operate the engine.
