2001 FORD FIESTA1.3L Petrol

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 07 November 2025 at 41,317 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure exactly one day prior at 41,302 miles. This suggests a minor issue, likely a light bulb or a simple adjustment, which was rectified immediately. The vehicle has maintained a clean record across the previous annual tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,653 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 39,960 miles and the November 2024 test at 40,721 miles, the car covered only 761 miles. This low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of standing can expose the vehicle to age-related degradation such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and fluid breakdown regardless of the low mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as low mileage does not prevent surface corrosion on a Ford Fiesta of this era. Given the infrequent use, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake discs for heavy pitting or rust from inactivity. Verify the condition of the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking, as age-related rubber failure occurs long before the tread wears out.
