2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GU54 LBZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history over the last six years. The most recent test conducted in November 2021 at 144,893 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating the car was in a sound condition at that time. Since no tests have been recorded for nearly five years, the current roadworthiness status of the vehicle cannot be verified and an immediate inspection is mandatory before any purchase. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between November 2018 and November 2021, the car covered 23,938 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The gap of 9,442 miles between November 2019 and November 2020 suggests a period of higher activity, while the lack of any data since late 2021 indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. A buyer must focus specifically on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as 22-year-old Fords are prone to corrosion that may not have been captured in older tests. Because the vehicle has not been tested in years, the inspector should check for seized brake calipers, perished brake hoses, and perished tyres. The suspension bushes and coil springs also require close scrutiny for cracking or material fatigue, as low mileage does not prevent age-related decay of these critical mechanical components.
