2005 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · SH55 VMD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-01-02 with some minor issues. The recurring mechanical pattern in the MOT history is related to brake wear, with worn front brake pads and discs, as well as misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorbers. The trend in the MOT history does not suggest a worsening condition, but rather a consistent pattern of minor issues. However, the fact that the vehicle failed its MOT in 2023 due to more serious problems (such as a bulge in the nearside rear tyre and a rough wheel bearing) suggests that it may not be as reliable as it could be. The mileage of 111,514 miles for a 21-year-old vehicle is relatively low, which could suggest that the vehicle has been used lightly or has spent long periods standing still. However, this is not a definitive indicator, and the actual usage and maintenance history of the vehicle are unknown. In terms of the overall condition of the vehicle, the MOT history suggests that it requires regular maintenance to prevent more serious problems from arising. The buyer should be aware that the vehicle has a history of minor issues and should inspect it thoroughly before purchasing. The most important checks a buyer should make in person include: - Inspecting the brake discs and pads to ensure they are in good condition - Checking the shock absorbers for signs of wear or damage - Looking for any signs of corrosion or rust on the vehicle's body and suspension components - Checking the tyres for wear and ensuring they are properly inflated - Testing the vehicle's brakes and suspension to ensure they are functioning properly.
