2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FP04 KZC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate reactive maintenance. The most recent test conducted in January 2022 at 215,044 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. However, the recurring trend of failing and immediately passing in both 2021 and 2022 suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when prompted by the testing process rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,775 miles per year. Between the January 2020 test at 185,704 miles and the January 2022 test at 215,044 miles, the car covered 29,340 miles. This represents a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive strain. The fact that the last recorded MOT is now over four years old as of June 2026 creates a significant data gap regarding the state of rubber components and mechanical wear since the last official inspection. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension system. Given the high mileage and age, corrosion on the sills, wing arches, and rear mounting points is a primary concern. The buyer should also check for worn suspension arm bushes and perished coil springs, which frequently degrade on high-mileage Fiest. Because the MOT record lacks recent data, a thorough check of the brake lines for corrosion and the exhaust for leaks is essential to ensure the vehicle has not developed significant faults since the 2022 test.
