2002 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FH02 XDM

The 2002 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 3 July 2025 at 91,918 miles returned a pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken clean run since the 2022 renewal. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the recorded period. Mileage sits at 91,918 against a 24-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,830 miles per year. The records show minimal annual accumulation: 91,126 miles in July 2022, 91,497 in June 2023, 91,786 in July 2024, and 91,918 in July 2025. Such low use implies long stationary periods. The only anomaly is a failed test on 28 June 2023 at 91,495 miles with no defects logged, reversed two days later by a pass at 91,497; this points to an administrative or presentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely extended idle spells. Standing time accelerates rubber perishing and surface rust on structural members even when the MOT shows clean. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical checks for binding or pitting after low-mileage dormancy. The sparse history offers no recurring consumable or mechanical warnings. Previous keepers appear to have kept basic upkeep current, though the two-day 2023 fail-pass cycle suggests the car changed hands or visited a different centre. Verify service receipts to confirm fluid changes and cambelt interval, as the MOT alone cannot evidence those.
