The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent history of passes over the last three years. In the most recent test on 5 July 2025 at 155,770 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a streak of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have remained within acceptable tolerance limits during the recent inspection cycles. The recorded mileage of 155,770 miles over 18 years reflects an average usage of approximately 8,654 miles per annum. This aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, such as roughly 8,400 miles driven between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 4,700 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake-related components. While the recent history is clean, the failure on 5 July 2022 at 131,873 miles indicates a past issue that required immediate rectification before the subsequent pass. Given the age and high mileage of this Fiesta, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches, as these are common failure points for this generation. The buyer should also check for wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines, as the MOT test does not assess the remaining useful life of these components until they reach a point of failure.
