2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PN55 AHK

This 2005 Ford Fiesta presents a remarkably clean MOT record for a vehicle of its age and mileage. The most recent test in December 2025 at 157,367 miles returned a pass with no defects, continuing a pattern of unblemished annual tests stretching back to at least December 2022. The single failure in December 2023 appears to have been a same-day administrative retest, as the mileage and defect list are identical to the pass recorded the following day. The maintenance trend is stable and suggests a history of conscientious upkeep, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 157,367 miles equates to roughly 7,500 miles per year, which is entirely typical for a vehicle of this era. The annual mileage increments are consistent, with the car covering between 7,500 and 8,000 miles each year between tests. There are no suspicious gaps in the history or sudden jumps in mileage that would indicate clocking or prolonged periods of inactivity. The pattern points to steady, regular use rather than stop-start urban running or long-term storage. While the MOT history is clean, a 21-year-old Fiesta with over 157,000 miles will inevitably have hidden wear not captured by an annual inspection. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the rear suspension axle and trailing arm bushes, as corrosion and degradation are common on this model. Brake discs and pads will likely be nearing replacement intervals given the mileage, and the handbrake mechanism should be checked for efficiency. The exhaust system, particularly the rear silencer box and pipework, is a known corrosion point. A thorough check for structural rust in the sills, wheel arches, and floorpan is essential, as these areas can deteriorate rapidly even with a clean MOT pass.
