2005 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · DS05 DFA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 84,585 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just three days prior at 84,584 miles. This specific failure likely represents a clerical error or a minor component adjustment issue that was immediately rectified before the retest, as the negligible mileage change between the two dates suggests the car remained stationary. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between July 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 11,920 miles, indicating infrequent use or short-distance commuting. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals. The record shows a steady maintenance interval despite the age of the Fiesta. Given the clean MOT history without recurring advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Ford models of this era are prone to corrosion in the rear wheel arches and underbody. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber or cracking which often occurs due to age rather than high mileage. Verify the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from oxidation when left for periods of time.
