2003 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · AX52 FXG

The 2003 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy as of the latest MOT on 25 February 2026, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable; no recurring faults have emerged across the four recorded tests, and the most recent test confirms the vehicle is fit for use. Mileage growth between tests is modest. From 100,430 miles in February 2024 to 102,169 miles in February 2026, the car accrued only 1,739 miles over two years, averaging roughly 870 miles per annum. The annual mileage jumps between 2024‑2025 (346 miles) and 2025‑2026 (393 miles) are well below typical usage, suggesting either light use or periods of inactivity. The data set is sparse but clean, with no sudden spikes or gaps that would indicate irregular wear patterns. A prospective buyer should still perform a hands‑on inspection of components that commonly age in older vehicles. Check the tyre tread depth, wheel bearings, and suspension bushes for wear or corrosion. Verify that the brake discs and calipers are free of binding and that the brake fluid is at the correct level. Inspect the steering linkage, wheel alignment, and the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rust. Finally, examine the vehicle’s chassis and body panels for any signs of corrosion or structural damage, particularly around the wheel arches and lower body. Even with a spotless MOT record, the long service life of a 2003 model warrants a thorough visual and functional check of these critical systems before purchase.
