2002 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · AP02 FVE

The current MOT status is valid, with the vehicle passing its most recent test on 20 August 2025. The record shows a stable trend over the last four years, following a brief failure in June 2023. While the 2023 failure occurred without recorded defects, the subsequent clean passes suggest that any initial issues were rectified promptly. The vehicle has maintained a consistent record of compliance since 2022, indicating no recurring mechanical failures or persistent advisories during this period. The recorded mileage of 14,087 miles over 24 years averages approximately 587 miles per annum, confirming a pattern of extremely light usage. This low mileage profile often indicates that the vehicle has spent significant time in storage. Such prolonged periods of inactivity can lead to specific mechanical degradation that a standard MOT test may not fully capture, particularly regarding rubber components, seals, and fuel system integrity. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the effects of long-term storage rather than high-mileage wear. Examine the chassis and floor panels for structural corrosion, as vehicles left standing are prone to moisture-related oxidation. Inspect the condition of all suspension bushes, gaiters, and brake hoses for signs of perishing or cracking, as these rubber components deteriorate with age regardless of distance covered. Verify that the engine operates smoothly from a cold start to ensure that the fuel system and internal sensors have not suffered from stale fuel or lack of lubrication. Buying score 70. Risk level Low.
