2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FH05 KTN

The 2005 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 November 2024 at 106,456 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2021 to 2023 also logged clean sheets. The lone blemish is a failed test on 9 November 2023 at 105,077 miles, reversed the next day with a pass at identical mileage and no defects cited, which points to an administrative or minor pre-check issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a 21-year-old car at 106,456 recorded miles, averaging roughly 5,069 per year. The records show gentle accumulation: 89,171 miles in November 2021, 97,649 in November 2022, 105,077 in November 2023, then 106,456 by November 2024. That is under 1,800 miles added in the last year, suggesting long idle periods or light local use. Sparse test gaps of roughly twelve months between entries give no evidence of rapid wear cycles or neglected intervals. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and low-use pattern, as standing time accelerates rust and perishes rubber. The clean MOT history means no advisories flag brake discs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions, but tester discretion on a 2005 shell varies. Verify underbody structural integrity and check for moisture trapped in sills. The absent defect list implies prior owners kept basic statutory compliance but offers no insight into consumable renewal like tyres or wiper blades. Given the 1,379-mile gap since the last test, confirm current tread depth and fluid condition before purchase.
