2002 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AJ02 VSD

The 2002 Ford Fiesta shows a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 3 February 2023 at 79,174 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior 7 February 2022 pass at 78,406 miles. This two-year clean record indicates no worsening faults and no outstanding advisories carried forward. The odometer reflects exceptionally low use for a 24-year-old vehicle. Between February 2022 and February 2023 the car covered only 768 miles, an annual rate near 3,300 miles. Such limited accumulation suggests extended periods of standing rather than daily driving, with no rapid mileage spikes or testing gaps beyond the standard twelve-month cycle. The sparse history shows two consecutive passes and no recorded failures or advisories. A buyer should still verify in person the effects of long idle periods. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and flat-spotted tyres even when the MOT shows a clean sheet. Inspect suspension bushes, brake discs for corrosion, and the underbody for structural rust that a February test may not have flagged as an advisory. Given the age, examine the exhaust emissions system and coolant hoses for degradation. The low mileage implies light wear on the drivetrain, but previous owners likely deferred consumable replacement. Confirm the timing belt interval and check for fluid leaks before purchase.
