2002 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LD52 YHF

This 2002 Ford Fiesta presents a concerning roadworthiness status due to a severe lack of recent test data, with the maintenance trend completely frozen since the single available record. In the December 2021 test at 72,454 miles, the vehicle passed with zero defects recorded. However, no subsequent MOT tests appear in the official history, leaving a gap of more than four years leading up to the current date in July 2026. The recorded mileage of 72,454 miles equates to an average of roughly 3,019 miles per year over its 24-year lifespan, representing exceptionally low usage for a small hatchback. This sparse MOT history demands careful interpretation. A single clean pass logged over four years ago does not confirm current roadworthiness, and a prolonged period of inactivity often causes severe degradation to rubber components, suspension bushes, and braking systems. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the floorpan and sills, as corrosion is common in Mk5 Fiestas of this vintage, particularly when left standing for extended periods. The buyer should also inspect the condition of all brake discs and calipers for surface rust or seizure, check the rubber brake lines for perishing, and examine the coil springs and suspension mounting points. Without a continuous and verifiable test history, any prospective purchaser must budget for a thorough mechanical overhaul and a fresh MOT test to establish baseline roadworthiness.
