2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SH05 UNN

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the available data, though the MOT history is severely outdated. The most recent test on 3 September 2021 at 99,755 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, as today is 20 July 2026, the car has been without a valid MOT for nearly five years. This gap makes the current roadworthiness status unknown and suggests the vehicle has been stationary for a significant period. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 21 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,750 miles per year. Between June 2018 and September 2021, the odometer climbed from 90,564 to 99,755 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern of approximately 3,000 miles annually during that window. The lack of any recorded defects across five tests indicates a well-maintained car during its active years, though the sudden cessation of testing in 2021 is a point of concern. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components that degrade during long-term storage. Perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded suspension bushes are common risks for cars that stand idle. The absence of historical failures for corrosion is positive, but the age of this Ford Fiesta makes structural rust in the sills and chassis a primary area for verification. Check the engine oil and coolant for signs of contamination and verify that the battery has not suffered permanent discharge. The 2018 failure on 21 May at 90,484 miles is an anomaly as no specific defects were listed, which may suggest a clerical error or a minor administrative failure. Given the five year hiatus, a full mechanical service is required to ensure the drivetrain and braking system are functional before the vehicle returns to the road.
