2004 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · NK04 FBA

The most recent MOT on 9 November 2024 recorded a failure at 127,179 miles, breaking an otherwise uninterrupted series of passes. The pattern suggests a generally stable maintenance record that has now encountered a new issue, rather than a long‑term deterioration. Across a 22‑year lifespan the vehicle has logged 127,179 miles, averaging roughly 5,800 miles per year. Between the 10 November 2021 pass at 115,515 miles and the 9 November 2024 fail the mileage rose by 11,664 miles, indicating a continued low‑usage profile. No large spikes or gaps appear in the recorded data, reinforcing the impression of consistent, modest annual mileage. Given the absence of specific defects in the MOT entries, a buyer should focus on the components most likely to trigger a failure after years of service. Inspect the brake system for any signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear, verify suspension bushings and coil springs for corrosion or fatigue, and examine tyre tread depth and condition. A visual check for structural rust, especially around wheel arches and chassis joints, and a brief assessment of exhaust emissions will confirm whether the recent failure reflects a remedied fault or an emerging problem.
