2002 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LY02 AEM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in October 2022 at 111,425 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all minimum standards at that time. This follows a clean pass in 2020 and 2019, suggesting that the vehicle has generally been maintained to a functional standard without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-four-year-old, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage, moving from 88,407 miles in April 2019 to 111,425 miles by late 2022. While there was a lapse in October 2021 where the vehicle failed at 104,045 miles, it passed again just nine days later at 104,151 miles. This low annual mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine but can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake fluids. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Fords of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and wing mounting points. Because the record does not list specific recurring advisories, it is vital to check for perished suspension bushes and leaking brake lines which often result from age rather than distance. Given that the last MOT was performed nearly three years ago, the buyer must verify that the brakes have not seized and the tyres have not developed flat spots during periods of inactivity.
