1994 FORD FIESTA1.3L PETROL

The 1994 Ford Fiesta has a recorded mileage of 1,594 miles, making it approximately 32 years old. This is exceptionally low for its age, averaging about 50 miles per year. Such low mileage may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like dry rot, corrosion, or stiffness in mechanical components. However, the vehicle’s MOT history shows no major failures, only minor suspension-related defects. The most recent MOT entry is from 2008, over 18 years ago, with no subsequent tests recorded. This absence of recent inspections is a significant concern, as it means the vehicle’s condition has not been assessed for over a decade. The last recorded issues were related to suspension components: slight movement in wishbone pins/bushes (2008), play in suspension arms (2007), and worn wishbone bushes (2006). These defects were consistently linked to the front suspension, suggesting a recurring weakness in this area. The pattern of defects appears stable rather than worsening, as the same suspension components were flagged across three MOTs without escalation. However, the lack of recent data means there is no evidence of improvement or new issues.
