2004 FORD FIESTA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 82,198 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets minimum legal standards. Following a single failure in April 2024, the vehicle has undergone two consecutive clean passes without advisories, suggesting that the previous owner addressed immediate issues and subsequently maintained the car effectively. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, such as the 5,600-mile interval between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 4,900 miles between April 2024 and February 2025. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the seizing of brake-related hardware. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and any age-related corrosion, which is a common failure point for this era of Fiesta. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage necessitates a check of perished suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking with age rather than through wear. Examining the brake discs for pitting and checking for binding calipers is also wise, as infrequently driven vehicles suffer from surface rust on the braking system.
