FORD FIESTA2000 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is in a state of uncertain roadworthiness due to a significant lapse in testing history. While it passed its last MOT in July 2014 at 75,205 miles, there has been no recorded testing for over eleven years. Given the current date of June 2026, the MOT is long expired and the vehicle is legally unroad. The historical trend shows a progression toward mechanical neglect and structural concern, with multiple suspension and braking issues appearing in the final recorded test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 26-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. However, the vast gap in data between 2014 and 2026, combined with the fact that only 10,000 miles were covered in three years, suggests the car may have sat stationary for long periods. Such lack-of-use often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seizing of brake calipers, and accelerated corrosion of the metal metalwork, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody, as the 2014 test flagged corrosion in these areas. The history reveals a recurring pattern of suspension-related failures, including play in steering joints, anti-roll bar bushes, and deteriorated trailing arms. The braking system consistently struggled to meet the minimum efficiency standards across 2011, 2012, and 2014, indicating a long-term issue with neglected maintenance or aging components that likely require immediate attention.
