2002 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · DA51 PVZ

The 2002 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 49,614 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations. Prior passes on 2 April 2025 at 49,364 miles and 2 April 2023 at 48,904 miles also noted no advisories, showing the vehicle has held its condition without escalating mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage stays strikingly low for a 24-year-old car. The odometer moved from 48,904 miles in April 2023 to just 49,614 miles by April 2026, an average of around 237 miles per year across that span. The only anomaly is a failed test on 3 April 2024 at 49,028 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 5 April 2024 at 49,032 miles; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of consumable neglect or structural decline. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as long idle periods between the low-mileage years can hide perishing rubber and surface rust not caught in a pass-with-no-defects test. Brake discs and calipers warrant a physical check for binding or pitting after standing unused. The exhaust and emissions system showed no advisories but should be cold-started to confirm no hidden leaks. Given the fault-free history and minimal use, the Fiesta reflects careful, light ownership rather than deferred upkeep. Verify the 2024 failure paperwork and confirm the car has not suffered moisture damage from prolonged storage before purchase.
