2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · WA04 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean results of its latest MOT test. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2024 at 181,377 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards for road use. While a failure occurred in December 2022, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying the identified faults to maintain operational status. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the age of a 22-year-old vehicle. At 181,377 miles, the car averages approximately 8,244 miles per year. The data shows a steady usage rate, such as the 6,887 miles driven between December 2020 and December 2021, and another 11,190 miles between December 2021 and November 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to the degradation of seals and brake components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components common to this era of Fiesta. Given the high mileage and age, the vehicle is susceptible to corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and mounting points. Although the MOT records currently show no advisories for brake calipers or suspension issues, the high mileage implies that rubber bushes and shock absorbers may be nearing the end of their functional life. Checking for play in the steering or fluid leaks from the dampers is essential to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the current mechanical condition.
