2003 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · CV03 OAX

The vehicle last failed its MOT on 18 November 2021 at 94,806 miles and has no subsequent pass recorded, leaving it unroadworthy as of today, over four and a half years later. The maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving because only a single failed test exists with no defects logged by the tester. This absence of recorded defects on a failure suggests an administrative or unrecorded fault condition rather than a documented mechanical decline. The odometer stood at 94,806 miles at the 2021 failure, equating to roughly 4,122 miles per year across the car's 23-year life, which is low for a 2003 Ford Fiesta. No earlier or later mileage entries appear in the supplied record, so we cannot chart accumulation or spot gaps before 2021. The static reading from November 2021 to now implies the car has likely been idle or off the road since the failure, raising the risk of perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion from prolonged standing. A buyer must treat the 2021 failure as an unresolved barrier to road use. With no defects listed, the DVSA outcome gives no guidance on whether brakes, suspension, emissions, or structure caused the rejection. Given the age and long dormancy, a full inspection of brake calipers for binding, coil springs for fracture, and subframe corrosion is essential before any assumption of viability. The low annual mileage and single failed test with no advisories point to either minimal upkeep or a car taken off the road rather than repaired. Previous keepers did not demonstrate consistent maintenance through recorded tests. Verify the reason for the 2021 failure via the physical vehicle and DVSA failure category, as the record alone offers no mechanical detail to confirm roadworthiness.
