2002 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · BN02 FNO

The 2025‑09‑06 MOT at 25,144 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the Fiesta is presently roadworthy, whereas the preceding 2025‑09‑02 test at 25,116 miles recorded a failed near‑side rear shock absorber leak and ineffective front windscreen wipers, indicating that recent remedial work has resolved earlier issues. Mileage has risen steadily from 16,015 miles in February 2015 to the current 25,144 miles, averaging roughly 1,048 miles per year, a rate consistent with light use and no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation in any single year; the interval from the 2018‑02‑21 test at 19,674 miles to the 2021‑03‑02 test at 22,586 miles added 2,912 miles over three years, while the 2022‑02‑26 to 2025‑09‑06 span contributed 1,983 miles, showing a stable progression. Recurring windscreen wiper failures and the rear shock leak point to suspension and steering component wear that should be examined for leaking seals, worn bushes and binding calipers, while the near‑side front brake disc noted in 2018 and 2019 requires thickness measurement and inspection for pitting or scoring that could affect braking performance; the 2015 off‑side rear brake pipe corrosion suggests checking for rust on chassis rails and suspension mounting points. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the rear shock absorber condition, verify wiper linkage and motor operation, assess brake disc thickness and caliper movement, and look for any signs of structural rust or corrosion on the chassis, as these items have repeatedly influenced MOT outcomes despite an overall low‑mileage history.
