2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GK05 RYG

The most recent MOT, taken on 23 February 2026 at 83,731 miles, was passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle has consistently cleared its annual checks, with the only failures occurring on 11 February 2026 and 11 February 2025 – both at the same mileage and with no faults noted. This pattern indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no emerging issues over the past three years. The mileage trajectory shows a modest accumulation of roughly 1,100 miles per year. From 81,131 miles on 13 November 2023 to 82,605 miles on 12 February 2025, the car logged 1,474 miles in 15 months, averaging 98 miles per month. The following year, it added 1,126 miles to reach 83,731 miles by 23 February 2026, an average of 94 miles per month. Such low annual mileage for a 21‑year‑old vehicle suggests limited use or long periods of storage, and the record contains no gaps that would raise concern about neglected maintenance. Given the absence of recorded defects, a prospective buyer should focus on typical wear items that are not always flagged by the DVSA. Inspect the brake system – pads, discs, and calipers – for wear or binding. Verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as tyre failure would not appear in the MOT. Examine the suspension bushings and coil springs for cracking or excessive play. Check the steering linkage and rack for smooth operation. Look for corrosion on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and undercarriage, and assess the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rust. Finally, confirm that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains sound by inspecting the frame and body panels for any signs of damage or repair. No recurring faults appear in the MOT history, indicating that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets roadworthiness standards. Nonetheless, a thorough visual and functional inspection of the components highlighted above will provide confidence that the car remains reliable and safe for continued use.
