2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MW55 VVD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 89,283 miles. Although the car initially failed this test due to an inoperative nearside front position lamp and an incorrectly coloured offside front indicator, these were minor electrical and lighting defects that were rectified immediately. The absence of any advisories across the last four tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained in a clean condition without signs of degradation or recurring failures. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 89,283 miles averages approximately 4,252 miles annually. The data shows a significant gap in usage between January 2023 and March 2024, where the vehicle covered only 773 miles in over fourteen months, followed by a much more active period with 14,213 miles driven between March 2024 and February 2026. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading or brake components seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as low-mileage older vehicles often suffer from corrosion rather than wear. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the Fiesta necessitates a close check of the sills and suspension mounting points for hidden rust. Given the recent increase in annual mileage, verify the condition of the tyre sidewalls and check the brake discs to ensure they have not perished or pitted during the previous periods of standing.
