2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FG04 PXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on April 8 2026 at 50,342 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets the minimum standard despite technical failures immediately preceding the passes. These recent failures in April 2025 and 2026 resulted in no recorded defects on the pass certificates, suggesting they were minor items or consumable-related issues that the owner addressed quickly before the re-test. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 50,342 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,288 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 2,355 miles driven between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,002 miles covered prior to the 2026 test. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts and fluid breakdown due to long periods of sitting stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as low-mileage vehicles of this era are prone to hidden corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for fatigue, as these components age regardless of distance driven. Given the recent failures followed by passes, verify the brake system for binding calipers or corroded discs, as infrequent use often leads to surface rust and seized pistons.
