2002 Ford Fiesta 1.3L Petrol · RJ52 WGY

The 2002 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded on 1 July 2025 at 71,805 miles. The maintenance trend shows no worsening defects across the five-year MOT span. The July 2025 history lists a failed entry on the same date and mileage with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass; this suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, as DVSA shows no advisories or defects on either 2025 test. The odometer sat at 65,550 miles for the 1 July 2022 test, rose to 66,173 by 30 June 2023, then 70,171 on 5 July 2024, and 71,805 on 1 July 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between roughly 600 and 4,000 miles, averaging close to 3,000 miles per year against 24 years of age. Such low use implies the car spent long periods stationary, yet the record carries no gaps and no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues across the timeline. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and underbody corrosion in person, as a 24-year-old Ford shell can degrade from damp standing even when the tester logged no advisories. Check coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake calipers for binding or seizing caused by infrequent movement. The clean MOT sheet points to a lightly used, reasonably kept example, but the duplicate 2025 entry warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal match the true test outcome.
