2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GV05 TYP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without any recorded failures. The most recent test conducted on 29 May 2025 at 70,100 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent history of passes suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion typically seen in older vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,338 miles per year. Between May 2021 and May 2025, the vehicle covered 7,757 miles, moving from 62,343 to 70,100 miles. While this low usage reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber components. The lack of advisories across these years indicates that the vehicle has remained in good condition despite periods of limited use. Despite the clean record, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for perished or cracked suspension bushes, rubber hoses, and tyre sidewalls which can degrade due to age rather than tread wear. Because the car has been driven infrequently, the brakes should be inspected for seized calipers or corrosion on the discs and drums. Checking the structural integrity of the sills and rear subframe remains vital to ensure that hidden surface rust has not developed during the vehicle's stationary periods.
