2005 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · LS55 HRA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in its most recent test on October 16 2025 at 85,678 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently cleared the testing requirements over the last three years. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes on the same days suggest that any identified defects were rectified promptly by the owner rather than indicative of a persistent mechanical decline. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 85,678 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,080 miles per year. The data shows consistent low usage patterns, with roughly 2,400 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 2,000 miles thereafter. This low-frequency use often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brake components seizing due to periods of the vehicle sitting stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, as vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion that remains hidden until it affects structural members. Given the low mileage, check for perished suspension bushes and seized brake calipers that may have suffered from age rather than distance. Since the MOT history shows no specific advisories, a thorough check of the underbody and fluid condition is necessary to ensure the low-use history has not led to internal neglect.
