2002 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LT02 AJX

The 2002 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 11 February 2026 at 89,164 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2026 returned a pass with no advisories noted, showing the vehicle has not deteriorated mechanically across the five-year window. The recorded mileage reflects exceptionally light use for a 24-year-old car. The odometer rose from 83,106 miles at the 9 February 2022 test to 89,164 miles by February 2026, a total of 6,058 miles over four years or roughly 1,515 miles per annum. This low annual accumulation, around 3,715 miles per year across its life, points to a vehicle kept largely stationary or used for short local journeys rather than sustained motorway driving. Such low mileage combined with clean MOT sheets suggests conscientious basic upkeep by previous owners, though the absence of advisories means latent wear was never formally logged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as a car of this age standing for long periods is prone to perishing rubber components and structural rust unseen by the annual test. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement for pitting or binding given the minimal road use, while tyres and flexible hoses should be checked for age cracking irrespective of tread depth. The lack of recorded faults is reassuring, but the MOT only captures failures on the test day and does not certify overall condition.
