2000 FORD FIESTA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently questionable due to a lack of MOT testing for over eleven years. While the last recorded test in April 2015 at 109,725 miles showed a pass, the data leading up to that point indicates a history of significant structural degradation. The maintenance trend prior to 2015 was worsening, as evidenced by a major failure in March 2015, where excessive corrosion on the rear subframe mountings and seat belt anchorages required immediate repair to pass the subsequent test. At 26 years old, the car has covered 109,725 miles, which averages to approximately 4,220 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods, which often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and promotes internal corrosion. There is a total gap in the record following the 2015 test, with no mileage data or results provided until 2026. This lack of data makes it impossible to verify the current mechanical state or whether the vehicle has remained driven over the last decade. A buyer must perform a thorough structural inspection of the rear subframe and seat belt anchor points, as these areas previously exhibited excessive corrosion. The history also flags recurring issues with Macpherson strut movement and suspension bushes, suggesting the suspension geometry is prone to age-related wear. Given the previous failures of deteriorated brake hoses and corroded pipes in 2013, the entire hydraulic system requires scrutiny for perished rubber and internal rust before the vehicle is considered for road use.
