1995 FORD FIESTA1.1L PETROL

The most critical concern is that this vehicle has no recorded MOT history for sixteen years, with the last entry dating back to July 2010. Any assessment of its current roadworthiness is based on extremely outdated data, meaning the car has likely been off the road for a significant period. The condition trend showed a clear decline leading up to that final 2010 test. While the 2006 and 2009 entries were largely clean, the 2010 MOT revealed a sudden surge of issues across multiple systems, including deteriorated CV joint gaiters, reduced damping in both rear shock absorbers, and damaged headlamps. Of particular concern is the 2010 report that the service brake efficiency only just met the minimum requirement, suggesting the braking system needed urgent adjustment or repair. There were also early signs of body corrosion on the rear lower and offside rear sections. The very low mileage of 58,199 miles over 31 years averages fewer than 2,000 miles per year. In a vehicle of this age, such low usage often implies long periods of standing. This is supported by the evidence of perished rubber CV gaiters and declining brake efficiency, both of which are typical results of a car sitting idle rather than being driven regularly. Because the car has likely been stationary for over a decade, the risk of seized brakes, perished tyres, and advanced corrosion is very high.
