2002 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · BG02 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The recent test in October 2021 at 83,501 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two miles prior. This initial failure likely involved a minor component such as a blown bulb or a minor adjustment rather than a systemic mechanical fault. Since that period, the car has maintained a clean record without any flagged advisories or recurring failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 63,126 miles in 2018 to 83,501 miles in 2021, representing an increase of roughly 7,800 miles over three years. This low usage suggests light travel, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low mileage on older vehicles can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and seals due to age and lack of movement rather than mechanical friction-related tear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as the MOT record does not provide data on corrosion levels. Given the age of the Fiesta, it is essential to check for rust in the wheel arches and sills where moisture often collects. Inspect the brake lines and suspension bushes for perished or cracking, as low-use vehicles often suffer from drying materials. While the mechanical history appears clean, the lack of recent entries since 2021 means the current state of the tyres and brake fluid remains unverified and requires a thorough assessment.
