2002 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · CV02 AJU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the MOT history over the last three years. The most recent test in February 2023 at 90,735 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. While the record shows failures in 2022 and 2023, the immediate passes following these failures suggest the owner addressed necessary repairs rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,781 miles per year. Between February 2021 and February 2022, the car covered 6,069 miles, while the period between February 2022 and February 2023 saw only 4,191 miles. This low usage suggests the car has been used sparingly, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. However, low distance travel often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake fluids due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Ford Fiestas are prone to corrosion that may not always be captured until it becomes structural. Given the low mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and rubber seals for perished signs or cracks, which occur over time rather than through distance. Additionally check the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods frequently develop binding issues. Since the last recorded MOT was over three years ago, the current state of the vehicle is unverified and requires a fresh test to ensure no new degradation has occurred.
