2004 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV54 CPN

The most recent test on 13 November 2023 at 93,958 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's current roadworthiness unconfirmed by a passing certificate. Prior to that, the 12 November 2022 test at 91,575 miles and the 23 November 2021 test at 89,886 miles both passed cleanly. The record shows a stable maintenance trend across the passing years, though the latest failure with no listed defects suggests an administrative or unrecorded issue rather than a clear mechanical decline. The odometer readings indicate low annual use for a 2004 Ford Fiesta, averaging roughly 4,271 miles per year across its life. From the 22 November 2021 failure at 89,886 miles to the 13 November 2023 failure at 93,958 miles, the car covered only 4,072 miles in two years. Such low accumulation points to light running or extended periods off the road, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen despite minimal wear to drivetrain parts. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe for structural rust given the vehicle's age and likely standing periods. The tester flagged no advisories on any passing entry, so brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions show no recorded concern, but the 2023 failure with no defects demands clarification from DVSA before purchase. Confirm the reason for the November 2023 failure and verify the vehicle holds a valid test before committing. Given the sparse history, a pre-purchase inspection of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody integrity remains prudent.
