2005 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SY05 CVK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 28 October 2025 at 94,293 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets minimum standards following initial failures. While the record shows instances of failure in both 2024 and 2025, the immediate passes within the same month suggest that minor defects were identified and rectified quickly rather than indicating a systemic mechanical or structural decline. The mileage profile is notably low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows very consistent usage over the last three years, with only 726 miles recorded between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 1115 miles thereafter. This low annual mileage often reduces the likelihood of wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown due to long periods of static storage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Fiesta models are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Given the fact that the vehicle failed twice shortly before passing in recent years, verify the condition of minor consumable items like bulbs, wipers, and tyres that may have triggered those failures. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or rust, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber hardening over time rather than mechanical wear.
