2005 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · KU55 FPY

The roadworthiness status of this 2005 Ford Fiesta is currently sound, backed by an improving maintenance trend that culminates in a clean pass on 13 October 2025 at 89,049 miles. Although the vehicle initially failed both the October 2025 test and the November 2024 test, these failures lack specific defect descriptions in the data and were immediately rectified on the same or subsequent test dates, resulting in valid passes on 13 October 2025 and 13 November 2024 respectively. This pattern indicates that previous keepers addressed rectification work promptly, restoring structural and mechanical compliance without leaving lingering unresolved faults on the certificate. With a recorded mileage of 89,049 miles accumulated over roughly twenty-one years, the vehicle averages about 4,240 miles annually, representing notably low usage for its age. The MOT data provided is limited to the three most recent years spanning 2023 through 2025, during which the odometer progression shows very gentle annual increments of just a few thousand miles per year. This light annual mileage suggests the hatchback spent periods stored or engaged in short urban trips, which typically spares drivetrain components from heavy motorway strain while increasing the risk of underbody corrosion and seized ancillary parts from inactivity. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, suspension joints, and braking systems, paying particular attention to sills and floor pans where twenty-one-year-old Fords frequently develop corrosion. Low-mileage vehicles of this vintage often suffer from degraded rubber components, so check the condition of suspension bushes, drop links, and brake hoses for perishing or cracking. Furthermore, examine the brake discs and calipers for surface rust and uneven wear caused by intermittent use, ensuring the handbrake mechanism operates correctly across all clicks.
