2002 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · MX52 JVC

The vehicle maintains a current MOT certificate valid until March 2027, reflecting a stable mechanical condition over the last three years. While the March 2026 test recorded general light corrosion, the absence of specific failure items suggests the car has been kept in a roadworthy state. The trend indicates a consistent level of maintenance, as the recurring advisories from previous years regarding tyre wear and minor oil leaks have not escalated into critical failures. The recorded mileage of 99,895 over twenty-four years averages approximately 4,162 miles per annum, which is notably low for a vehicle of this vintage. The annual increments are remarkably consistent, showing steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity that often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered roughly 5,700 miles, confirming it remains in regular, light service. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the vehicle underside, specifically targeting the structural integrity of the sills and floor pan given the recurring notes regarding general corrosion. The historical reports of outer edge tyre wear suggest a potential need for a professional wheel alignment check to prevent premature scrubbing of the front tyres. You should also verify the source of the previously noted oil leak to ensure it remains within acceptable limits and has not progressed to a significant drip or component contamination. Check the brake lines thoroughly, as the 2022 advisory concerning corrosion on the offside front pipe indicates that the hydraulic system requires a close look to confirm no further degradation has occurred.
