2002 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · SV02 HJO

The Ford Fiesta shows a currently roadworthy status following the June 2022 test, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came on 15 June 2022 at 62,554 miles with no defects logged. Prior to that, the car failed on 14 June 2022 at the same mileage but the tester recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. No worsening pattern emerges from the data. The recorded mileage sits at 62,554 against a 2002 build, averaging roughly 2,600 miles per year. The history shows 56,261 miles on 5 March 2020, rising only to 56,284 by 29 June 2021, then jumping to 62,554 by June 2022. That final year added about 6,270 miles, a marked increase over earlier low use. The car stood almost unused between early 2020 and 2021, which on a 20-year-old vehicle often allows corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe areas for corrosion given the long dormant period and advancing age. The March 2020 fail at 56,261 miles with no listed defects, repeated by the June 2022 fail, suggests the owner may have presented the car late or with minor non-logged issues, so verify the V5C and test certificate. Brake discs and calipers warrant checking for binding after standing. Despite clean advisories, the Fiesta is 24 years old with sparse history beyond five tests. Commission a pre-purchase inspection focusing on structural integrity and exhaust emissions before committing.
