2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EG05 FMC

The 2005 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 7 May 2025 at 62,300 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the three most recent annual tests showing clean passes once minor administrative failures were cleared. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or recorded mechanical faults, indicating no worsening pattern of wear in the official record. Recorded mileage stands at 62,300 against an age of roughly 21 years, equating to about 2,967 miles per year. The car covered only 1,698 miles between the May 2023 test at 58,672 miles and the May 2024 test at 60,370 miles, then added 1,930 miles to the May 2025 figure. This low annual use suggests extended standing periods rather than continuous daily driving. The MOT data is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged at any point from 2023 to 2025. The May 2024 and May 2025 entries each show a fail and pass on consecutive working days at identical mileages, with no defects listed. This pattern points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the car's age and likelihood of corrosion from intermittent use. Structural integrity and underbody rust remain the chief unknowns the DVSA record does not capture. Low mileage Fiestas of this era often develop perished rubber components and seized linkages through inactivity. Verify the exhaust emissions system and check for binding handbrake mechanisms before purchase.
