2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FD55 FZG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2021 at 102,266 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car was in a compliant condition at that time. However, because no tests have been recorded for nearly five years, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and carries a high risk of undetected degradation or failure due to the long period of inactivity. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 21-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,870 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2019 and 2021, with the car traveling from 90,618 miles to 102,266 miles over those two years. This low annual mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long periods of standing often lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber seals, degraded fluids, and seized brake calipers which are not always captured in a standard MOT test environment. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the age of the vehicle makes it prone to corrosion. Check the sills, wheel arches, and sub mounting points for structural rust. Given the lack of recent records, the braking system should be tested for flat spots on the tyres and corroded discs which can cause uneven pulling. Inspect the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for cracking or leaking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer more from age-related material failure than mechanical wear.
