2004 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DF53 PYA

The 2004 Ford Fiesta currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass dated 25 February 2025 at 130,124 miles, following a failed attempt six days earlier on 19 February 2025 at 130,042 miles where the tester logged no defects. The maintenance trend reads as broadly stable across the available record, though the back-to-back fail-and-pass in February 2025 points to an administrative or presentation issue at the first test rather than a clear mechanical defect. No advisories or faults appear on any test in the chain. Recorded mileage sits at 130,124 against an age of roughly 22 years, equating to about 5,915 miles per year. The car covered 16,518 miles between the December 2022 pass at 101,910 miles and the December 2023 pass at 118,428 miles, then added only 11,696 miles to the February 2025 pass. A clean record with no advisories across five tests suggests light, careful use, but the sparse history leaves long gaps unobserved between 2023 and 2025. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low annual use, which can mask perished rubber and corroded calipers from standing. The December 2023 fail with no defects recorded, repeated by the February 2025 fail, implies the previous owner may have presented the car without correct documentation or lighting rather than neglecting core mechanics. Check underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and confirm the exhaust emissions match the clean MOT trail. The absence of flagged wear items means consumables like tyres and wiper blades remain the main unknown without a hands-on check.
