2003 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BN53 ODB

The 2003 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 12 September 2025 at 118,994 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged. The vehicle shows a clean test profile aside from two administrative fails on 11 September 2025 and 6 September 2023, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes and with no defects logged, indicating the failures were procedural rather than mechanical. Recorded mileage sits at 118,994 against an estimated 23-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,174 miles per year, which is low for the age. The odometer moved only 1,515 miles between the September 2023 test at 117,479 miles and the September 2024 test at 118,704 miles, then a further 290 miles to the September 2025 pass. Such low annual accumulation suggests extended periods of standing or light local use rather than sustained motorway wear. The absence of advisories across all five entries means the tester raised no concerns on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust, given the vehicle's age and the likelihood that damp storage has affected components not visible during a pass-rate test. The paired fail-and-pass entries one day apart in both 2023 and 2025 imply the owner addressed paperwork or presentation issues swiftly rather than deferring repairs. No pattern of skipped consumable upkeep or worsening mechanical risk is evident from the record.
