2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GP54 AFE

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 46,651 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 21 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,221 miles per year. Between 12 January 2024 and 26 January 2026, the odometer increased by only 1,072 miles. Such low usage often indicates the car has spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to specific degradation issues not always captured in a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that perish due to age and inactivity rather than wear. Check for perished rubber suspension bushes, cracked tyre sidewalls, and signs of brake caliper seizing or binding, as low-mileage cars often suffer from these issues. Inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly on the sills and chassis, as the lack of recent defects in the MOT record does not guarantee the absence of surface rust. Verify the condition of the engine oil and coolant to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long-term stagnation. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the absence of any recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. This suggests either an exemplary maintenance regime or a car that has seen very little real-world stress.
