2003 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FH03 YWA

The 2003 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 230,206 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five consecutive annual tests from 15 December 2021 to the 2025 test, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. The maintenance trend is clearly stable, with no worsening mechanical or structural issues emerging in the official record. The odometer shows 230,206 miles against an approximate 23-year lifespan, equating to roughly 10,000 miles per year. The MOT data confirms a steady accumulation: 217,619 miles in December 2021, rising to 220,810 by December 2022, 224,060 in December 2023, 227,235 in December 2024, and 230,206 in December 2025. No gaps or sudden mileage spikes appear. The clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current, though the absence of advisories on a high-mileage elderly hatchback implies either light-use conditions or consumable items replaced preemptively outside the test bay. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT tester logged no advisories despite the vehicle's age and 230k mileage. Check the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue not yet flagged. Verify the exhaust emissions and catalytic converter condition given the 1.3-litre unit's longevity. The record shows no binding calipers or worn tyres, but physical inspection remains essential on a 23-year-old car with this distance covered.
