2003 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FP53 AOF

The 2003 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 174,043 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 15 August 2024 test at 170,754 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical concerns across the supplied record. Mileage sits at a typical level for a 23-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,567 miles per year. The record shows 166,075 miles on 23 August 2023, rising to 170,732 by 12 August 2024, then 174,043 by August 2025. Annual accumulation stayed near 4,000 miles, indicating steady light-to-moderate use rather than standing or heavy commercial duty. The history is sparse but clean, with only two failed tests logged on the same days as passes and no defects cited. The August 2024 and August 2023 failures carry no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or presentational issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No advisories appear for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. The absence of flagged wear implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and underbody corrosion in person, given the vehicle's age and 174,043 miles. Check suspension components, brake calipers, and tyre condition for hidden wear not captured in the clean MOT logs. Verify service history independently, as the record alone shows no recurring faults but offers limited insight into ongoing care.
