2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CU04 TZL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The most recent MOT test conducted on 26 July 2022 at 111,789 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This pattern suggests the owner is willing to rectify immediate issues to achieve compliance, and the vehicle has maintained a clean record without recurring mechanical or structural failures over the last three testing cycles. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 111,789 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,081 miles. The data shows a relatively consistent usage pattern, with 6,773 miles covered between July 2020 and August 2021, and another 6,136 miles covered between August 2021 and July 2022. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of rubber-based component degradation and fluid leaks, which often occur regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and s sills, as older Ford models of this era are prone to corrosion that may not always trigger a failure until it becomes significant. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or flat spotting caused by long periods of standing. While the MOT history shows no history of brake or exhaust failures, a manual check for binding calipers or rusted disc surfaces is necessary to ensure the low usage has not led to seized components.
