2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · WG54 HTL

The 2004 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 12 September 2025 at 117,321 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable given three consecutive annual passes. The record shows no advisories or defects across the last three tests, indicating the vehicle has met minimum legal standards without flagged wear. The repeated pass-fail-pass pattern at the 2024 and 2025 tests on identical mileages suggests administrative or presentation issues at retest rather than mechanical faults, as no defects were ever recorded. Recorded mileage stands at 117,321 miles against 22 years of use, equating to a low average of roughly 5,333 miles per year. The odometer moved only 2,185 miles between the July 2023 test at 115,136 miles and the August 2024 failure at 116,741 miles, then crept up just 580 miles to the September 2025 pass. Such low annual accumulation implies light use or prolonged storage periods, though the identical 117,321 miles logged on both the 11 September 2025 failure and 12 September 2025 pass confirms the owner corrected a non-mechanical administrative rejection within one day. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisory data in the record. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear being assessed beyond pass threshold, so these components warrant hands-on checks. The low mileage and same-day 2024 retest after a no-defect failure point to an owner conducting minimal but sufficient maintenance to clear the annual test.
