2003 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EF52 PDK

The 2003 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 133,254 miles which passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared every examination since its October 2023 failures, showing no worsening mechanical condition across the two-year window. Recorded mileage sits at 133,254 against 23 years of age, an average of roughly 5,794 miles per year and low for the period. The history shows light annual use: 111,290 miles on 5 October 2023 rose to 111,531 by 20 October 2023, then 124,739 at the 7 October 2024 failure and 124,746 the next day, reaching 133,254 by September 2025. No rapid accumulation appears. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with every pass carrying no advisories and the two failures listing no defects, implying the tester raised administrative or unrecorded issues rather than wear. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion and suspension bushes in person, as a 23-year-old Ford shell faces rust risk the MOT did not flag. The brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions warrant a hands-on check despite clean records. Low mileage with long standing periods can seize coil springs or dry door seals, so verify underbody condition before purchase.
