2003 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LD03 ASV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data. The final test conducted on 28 October 2022 at 146,605 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that yielded no specific faults. This suggests that any minor issues previously identified were rectified immediately to secure the pass, and the vehicle maintained a clean mechanical record through its final inspection period. The mileage pattern remains consistent with its twenty-three-year life cycle, averaging approximately 6,374 miles per year. Between the 29 October 2021 test at 144,900 miles and the 28 October 2022 test at 146,605 miles, the car covered 1,705 miles. This low annual accumulation indicates light use or significant periods of remaining stationary. However, the last recorded MOT is now nearly three years old, meaning the vehicle is currently operating on an expired test certificate and its current mechanical state cannot be verified through historical data. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as older Ford Fiestas are prone to corrosion in the rear wheel arches and sills. Given the low mileage and high age, rubber components such as suspension bushes and boots may have perished or cracked rather than worn out from use. Since the record lacks advisories, a thorough check for binding brake calipers and fluid leaks is essential to ensure the vehicle has not developed issues during the long interval between its last recorded tests.
