2004 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FN04 VMA

The 2004 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 13 October 2025 at 93,463 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 11 October 2024 test at 90,183 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical faults across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 93,463 against a 22-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,248 miles per year. This is low for the age and suggests either light use or extended periods off the road. The gap between the 10 October 2023 test at 86,882 miles and the 11 October 2024 test at 90,183 miles shows only 3,301 miles covered in a year, consistent with the long-term low-use pattern. The two failed entries on 10 October 2023 and 10 October 2024 at 86,882 and 90,182 miles respectively list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejection. The clean advisory history across all tests means no recurring wear items such as tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion were flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust, given the vehicle's age and potential for damp standing. Verify the brake calipers and coil springs operate freely despite no advisories being raised. Low annual mileage can mask perished rubber components and seized mechanisms from inactivity. Check coolant hoses, wiper blades, and handbrake function in person before purchase.
