2001 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · MK51 AZB

The 2022-10-17 MOT at 31,591 miles passed, yet the record shows a stable but concerning maintenance trend, with recurring tyre perishing, corroded coil springs, worn suspension arm pins, and persistent chassis corrosion. The vehicle has accumulated 31,591 miles over 25 years, averaging 1,264 miles per year, indicating relatively light use; however, mileage spikes between 2019 and 2022 (e.g., 2,021 miles in 2021) suggest periods of increased driving, while earlier years show slower accumulation. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and arm pins for excessive movement, inspect the coil springs for rust, verify the condition of all brake hoses and pipes for corrosion and fluid leaks, assess tyre tread and perishing, and look for structural rust on the chassis and near the wheel arches, as these recurring faults point to neglected preventive maintenance. Inspect the condition of brake discs, pads, and the thermostat housing; repeated advisories on these items indicate ongoing wear that could affect safety and reliability.
