2002 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · LA52 TNF

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests over the last four years, though a failure occurred immediately prior to the most recent pass. The test on 20 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on 19 November 2025. The records from 2022, 2023, and 2024 all show clean passes with no advisories or defects noted. The recorded mileage of 98,843 miles is low for a 2002 registration, averaging approximately 4,118 miles per year. The MOT data provides a consistent annual testing pattern from December 2022 through to November 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals, and the mileage accumulation appears steady rather than erratic. While the recent history lacks recorded advisories, the failure on 19 November 2025 suggests a component required rectification shortly before the successful retest. A physical inspection should focus on the area that caused this failure. Given the vehicle's age, a buyer should also inspect the chassis and suspension components for signs of corrosion or perished rubber bushes, as these are common issues on older vehicles even when MOT records appear clean. The absence of recorded advisories regarding brake pad wear, tyre tread, or exhaust emissions in the recent tests suggests these consumables were within legal limits at the time of testing. However, the lack of detailed advisory data means a manual check of the brake discs, calipers, and tyre condition is necessary to confirm current roadworthiness. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
