2005 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · PK05 AEV

The 2022-06-29 MOT at 89,023 miles passed, confirming roadworthiness at that point. The earlier 2022-06-24 failure recorded serious weakening of the near‑side front sub‑frame edge, yet the subsequent test listed the sub‑frame as corroded but not seriously weakened and noted brake pipe corrosion without issuing a failure, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a clear worsening of structural integrity. Over its 21‑year life the Fiesta has accumulated only about 4,200 miles annually, a low usage rate that is reflected in the sparse mileage increments between many tests, such as the unchanged 63,863 miles recorded in 2015 and the identical 50,170 miles captured in two consecutive 2013 tests, suggesting periods of extended inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the front sub‑frame and surrounding chassis for any new rust or cracks, verify the integrity of the repeatedly corroded brake pipes and the condition of the brake discs, and check the suspension components—including coil springs, bushes and the track rod end ball joint—for play or broken parts; additionally, examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition on all wheels, and confirm that steering and braking functions operate correctly without abnormal noises.
