1999 FORD FIESTA1.3L PETROL

The 1999 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 8 November 2022 at 163,803 miles with only minor suspension play advisories, indicating a broadly stable roadworthiness trend across the recorded history. The vehicle carries no failures and no structural or emissions defects, with the advisory list limited to consumable and minor wear items. Relative to its age, the upkeep pattern suggests steady, light use rather than neglect. Recorded mileage rose from 139,654 in August 2018 to 163,803 by November 2022, an average of roughly 6,000 miles per year that matches typical expectations for a 27-year-old car. The gap between the 2018 and 2019 tests spans fourteen months, yet the 2019 reading of 146,770 shows normal accumulation. No rapid accumulation or standing-still periods appear in the data; the sparse but clean record implies the previous owner kept basic statutory testing current without major mechanical intervention. The November 2022 test flagged slight play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and the nearside front lower anti-roll bar linkage ball joint at 163,803 miles. These are early-stage worn bushes and joints that warrant physical inspection for progression, as ball joint play can advance to detachment if ignored. The 2020 test noted both front brake discs worn, pitted and scored at 151,910 miles, a condition that may now be beyond service limits given two further years of use. A buyer should physically check the front suspension ball joints and anti-roll bar links for excess movement and rubber degradation. The front brake discs should be measured for thickness and surface condition, and the 2021 advisory on a deteriorated front registration plate should be confirmed as rectified. No corrosion, exhaust, or structural integrity concerns appear in the official record, but a 27-year-old vehicle of this mileage should still receive an underbody inspection for hidden rust.
