2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GV04 DPF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in its most recent test on November 2025 at 101,533 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as the previous failures recorded in 2023 and 2024 were successfully rectified. The lack of advisories in the latest two tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical defects and ensuring the vehicle meets minimum standards without outstanding issues. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 101,533 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,600 miles per year. This low usage profile often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can lead to degradation of rubber components. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests. The rapid re-test between the October 2024 failure and the subsequent pass indicates that a specific repair was identified and managed immediately upon the failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframe areas, as older Fiesta models are prone to corrosion in the sills and floor pans. While the MOT history is clean, the low mileage might mask age-related perished bushes or hoses that degrade over time rather than distance. Inspect the brake system for signs of seizing and check the tyres for cracks, as long periods of standing can cause flat spotting and dry rot despite low tread depth.
