2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AV55 YVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest inspection in September 2025 at 84,628 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent failure involved a minor electrical fault regarding the central stop lamp, which was rectified immediately to achieve a pass. There are no recorded advisories from the most recent test, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components met the minimum DVSA standards during the most recent assessment. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Data points show consistent low-mileage intervals, with only 2,761 miles driven between September 2023 and 2024, and further 2,221 miles covered in the final year. This regimen indicates the car has seen limited use, though low mileage often masks the gradual degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and hoses that suffer from age rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and visibility components. The September 2023 test flagged a smooth brake pedal surface, indicating potential wear of the rubber covering or a lack of recent attention, while the 2024 failure highlighted ineffective wiper blades and misaligned IPS jets. You must verify that the wiper assembly is fully functional and the washer system provides adequate pressure. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the artwork for structural corrosion and the suspension bushes for cracking is essential, as these are not explicitly detailed in the provided history until a failure threshold is reached.
