Ford Fiesta LX (1991)
1991 Ford Fiesta LX
CarHunch is tracking 16,766 1991 Ford Fiesta LX vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
These 1991 Ford Fiesta LX models are no longer undergoing MOT testing—the 0% pass rate reflects vehicles that have been taken off the road, scrapped, or are simply too old to appear in active MOT records anymore. With 16,766 vehicles in the dataset showing zero failures, zero advisories, and no dangerous defects recorded, this tells us nothing useful about reliability; the data is essentially empty because these cars have aged out of the testing system.
The median mileage of 53,252 miles is genuinely low for a 33-year-old car, but that's likely a statistical artifact—only the best-preserved or least-driven survivors remain in MOT records, skewing the picture. If you're considering a 1991 Fiesta today, ignore this dataset entirely and instead have a pre-purchase inspection done by a mechanic who knows 1990s Ford engines, as age-related corrosion and component wear are your real concerns, not MOT history.
We have 16,766 1991 Ford Fiesta LX vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1991 Ford Fiesta LX
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
