2002 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · HS02 AUT

The vehicle emerged from its most recent MOT on 27 January 2022 with a Pass at 107,620 miles and no recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance record up to that point. Since the test, the MOT has lapsed, so the current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed without a fresh inspection. At 107,620 miles the Fiesta has averaged roughly 4,500 miles per year over its 24‑year lifespan, a mileage well below the typical annual run‑rate for a car of this age. The data show no sudden spikes or periods of intensive use; the mileage remained unchanged between the failed test on 24 January 2022 and the subsequent pass three days later, suggesting consistent, light usage. A prospective buyer should focus on components that experience wear irrespective of mileage. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify the integrity of suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of fatigue, and inspect brake pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing. A visual check for corrosion on chassis members, under‑body panels, and exhaust system is prudent, as rust can develop unnoticed once an MOT expires. Confirm that all lights, indicators, and emissions controls operate correctly, and listen for any abnormal noises that might indicate binding calipers or deteriorating steering joints.
