2003 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · AF53 SRO

The 2003 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 31 January 2025 at 100,343 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clear MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 100,343 against 23 years of age, an average of roughly 4,363 miles per year. The DVSA entries show 76,071 miles in January 2022, 81,712 in January 2023, 90,832 in February 2024, and 100,343 in January 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between 5,641 and 9,641 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. Such low, steady use implies the car spent long periods idle, which often masks standing-related degradation not captured in a pass result. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as low-mileage Ford hatchbacks of this era commonly develop structural rust while showing clean MOT sheets. Brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses warrant physical checks for binding or seizing after extended dormancy. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the vehicle from age-related wear on consumables and rubber components. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions hardware before purchase, since the test history offers no evidence of neglect but equally no detail on parts nearing replacement.
