2002 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · SP52 UHO

The 2002 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a pass at 77,513 miles on 22 January 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though the prior day's failure at 77,510 miles listed no defects either, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five years of records from January 2022 to January 2025, every test either passed or failed without recorded defects, showing no worsening pattern of wear or recurring advisories. The mileage record shows very low use for a 24-year-old vehicle, rising from 75,321 miles in January 2022 to 77,513 miles by January 2025, a total of only 2,192 miles over three years or roughly 730 miles per year. This aligns with the broader average of about 3,230 miles annually and points to light, infrequent operation rather than sustained daily driving. The clean MOT slate with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion means the data is sparse, offering little evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for age-related issues the MOT may not capture. Long periods of standing invite perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers despite the clean test sheets. Check suspension arms and coil springs for cracking, and examine subframes and sills for structural rust given the vehicle's age. Given the low mileage and absent advisories, the Fiesta likely saw careful seasonal use, but the January 2025 fail with no defects suggests the seller corrected a non-mechanical blocker quickly. Verify service history and confirm the brake discs and exhaust emissions remain within limits before purchase.
