2004 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · YY04 KFR

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is uncertain as the most recent recorded MOT test on 29 July 2022 resulted in a failure. This test occurred nearly four years prior to the current date of 17 July 2026. The lack of any successful test since 2022 suggests the car has likely been off the road or neglected for a significant period, meaning the maintenance trend is currently declining. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,844 miles per year. Between 20 August 2020 and 29 July 2022, the odometer rose from 145,554 to 150,578 miles. This represents a steady usage rate of approximately 2,500 miles per year during that window. The data is notably clean, with no defects recorded during the passing tests in 2019, 2020, and 2021. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. While the records show no specific failures for brake discs or suspension bushes, the four-year gap in testing increases the risk of seized brake calipers and perished rubber components. Corrosion is a primary concern for a 2004 Ford Fiesta, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, which may have worsened during a period of inactivity. The absence of recorded defects in the early history is positive, but it does not guarantee current mechanical integrity. Check for fluid leaks and verify the condition of the tyres, as long-term standing often leads to flat spots or sidewall cracking. A full mechanical sympathy check is required to ensure the engine and drivetrain remain functional after such a prolonged absence from the MOT register.
