2003 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · AD52 XCW

The 2003 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 7 March 2025 at 119,447 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults raised at any stage. The record shows a clean test outcome in March 2025 following two earlier failed tests in 2024 and 2025 that listed no defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical concerns. The recorded mileage of 119,447 against a 23-year lifespan gives a low average of roughly 5,193 miles per year. The car covered only 2,884 miles between the March 2023 pass at 114,563 miles and the March 2025 pass at 119,447 miles. Such low annual use over an extended period suggests the vehicle spent considerable time stationary, which on a vehicle of this age raises the prospect of perished rubber components and accumulated corrosion even where the tester noted nothing. The repeated failures on 4 March 2025 at 119,397 miles and 6 March 2024 at 116,389 miles with no defects logged point to non-mechanical rejection grounds such as documentation or plate issues rather than worn suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record offers no measurement of hidden rust on sills or subframes. Given the low mileage and clean test outcomes, previous owners appear to have kept basic consumable wear within limits, though the two defect-free failures imply loose record-keeping. Verify the bona fide reason for those failures and check tyres, wiper blades, and brake calipers for age-related stiffness before purchase.
