2003 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MJ03 UTF

The 2003 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 18 July 2025 at 117,844 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with three consecutive passes and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The record shows no worsening condition and no recurring defects requiring corrective action. The vehicle has covered 117,844 miles over roughly 23 years, equating to approximately 5,124 miles per year. This is low annual use for its age. Mileage rose from 110,957 at the 6 July 2023 test to 115,509 by 24 July 2024, then to 117,842 at the 18 July 2025 failure and 117,844 at the same-day pass. The annual increments of around 4,500 to 5,300 miles confirm gentle, consistent running rather than prolonged standing or heavy wear. The MOT data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns noted. The paired failure and pass entries on 24 to 25 July 2024 and 18 July 2025 at near-identical mileages suggest administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical defects, as no faults were recorded on either side of the failures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust condition, since the MOT record does not capture gradual wear below test thresholds. Given the low mileage and fault-free history, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Verify service records and check for hidden rust or perished rubber components not visible to the tester.
