2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · EN04 ATU

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a stable maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical or structural defects. The most recent test on 14 January 2025 at 133,671 miles resulted in a clean pass with no advisories recorded. This follows a brief failure on 13 January 2025 at 133,600 miles, though the specific cause for that failure was not documented in the record. The absence of defects in the most recent inspection suggests the vehicle has been brought up to a satisfactory standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age and type. The car has covered approximately 43,629 miles since the January 2023 test, averaging roughly 21,800 miles per year over that two-year period. This is significantly higher than the 6,076 miles per year calculated for the vehicle's total lifespan, suggesting a shift toward more intensive use in recent years. The jump from 106,413 miles in January 2024 to 133,671 miles in January 2025 shows a steady usage pattern without evidence of long periods of inactivity. While the MOT records show no current failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-related components. A buyer should focus on the underside to check for significant corrosion on the exhaust system and rear axle, which often affects older Fiestas. Given the increased mileage in the last two years, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be verified. The braking system also requires scrutiny. Although the recent tests were clean, the previous failures in January 2024 and January 2025 suggest the vehicle may have occasionally struggled to meet emissions or brake efficiency standards. A physical check of the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for binding is recommended to ensure the vehicle remains reliable for continued use.
