2005 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · NG55 DPZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean pass results. The most recent test in April 2024 at 102,508 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car maintained a high operational standard despite its age. This success follows a period of clean passes since 2021, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have not suffered from significant or recurring failures over the last three years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,881 miles per year. Between March 2021 and April 2024, the car covered only 13,689 miles, which reinforces the assessment of infrequent use. The only anomaly in the record occurred on March 11, 2022, at 92,949 miles when the vehicle failed a test before passing a re-test the same day. This suggests a minor, perhaps consumable-related failure that was rectified immediately rather than a pattern of chronic mechanical neglect. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage requires a buyer to perform a physical inspection for age-related degradation. Older vehicles with low mileage often suffer from perished rubber components, including suspension bushes and brake lines, which the MOT does not always catch until they fail. You should check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as this generation of Fiesta is prone to surface rust over two decades. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for pitting or glazing, which can frequently occur when a vehicle sits for long periods without regular use.
