2004 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP04 EKT

The 2004 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test. In the July 2022 examination at 94,996 miles the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the available history, with the only blemish being a single failure logged in August 2021 at identical mileage of 93,152 miles, reversed by a pass the following day with no defects noted on either entry. Mileage sits low for a 22-year-old car at 94,996 recorded miles, equating to roughly 4,318 miles per year. The gap between the August 2021 test at 93,152 miles and the July 2022 test at 94,996 miles shows only 1,844 miles added in eleven months. Sparse records limit deep trend analysis, but the clean pass results and minimal annual use suggest light running rather than neglected high-mileage wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. The August 2021 failure with no defects recorded points to an administrative or unlogged minor issue rather than a mechanical trend, yet brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions should be physically checked for age-related degradation. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the same-day fail-and-pass sequence implies a missed paperwork step or trivial fault cleared without advisory. Verify the odometer against service stamps and inspect for binding calipers or tyre sidewall cracking from low-use storage before purchase.
