2002 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AJ02 FHX

The 2002 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 106,098 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the last three years is stable with no advisories or faults raised. The test history shows clean passes in October 2023 at 96,134 miles, October 2024 at 101,420 miles, and October 2025 at 106,098 miles. Two failed tests on 17 October 2024 and 10 October 2025 at near-identical mileages recorded no defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical condition issues. The recorded mileage of 106,098 over roughly 24 years equates to about 4,421 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age. Annual accumulation has been consistent and modest, rising just 5,286 miles between the October 2023 and October 2025 tests. No large gaps or sudden usage spikes appear in the data. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair, though long standing periods implied by low yearly use can hide corrosion or perished rubber components not captured in a pass result. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for corrosion given the car's age and likely intermittent use. Brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses should be checked for seizure or cracking after potential lay-up. Exhaust emissions and the catalytic converter should be verified on a cold start, as low-mileage 2002 petrol units often suffer from moisture retention in the silencer and front pipe. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests suggests previous owners presented the car in basic roadworthy order, but the duplicated fail-with-no-defect entries on 17 October 2024 and 10 October 2025 point to clerical re-tests rather than rectification work. Treat the clean MOT chain as a baseline only, and confirm structural integrity beneath sills and wheelarches before purchase.
