FORD FIESTA2007 · 1.4L Diesel

This vehicle exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 61,657 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the records show failures on 23 October 2025 and 1 November 2024, these were resolved on the same day, suggesting minor issues were rectified immediately to secure the certificate. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2007 model, averaging roughly 3,245 miles per year. Between 7 November 2023 and 24 October 2025, the odometer moved only 3,154 miles. This indicates the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys, which can be as detrimental as high mileage due to fluid degradation and perished rubber components. A buyer should focus on components that deteriorate regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from seized brake calipers or rusted brake discs. Check for perished suspension bushes and cracked coil springs, as rubber compounds harden over nineteen years. The lack of recorded advisories is positive, but a physical inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pan is essential given the vehicle's age. Verify the condition of the tyres and engine oil. Low mileage often masks aged tyres that may have developed sidewall cracking despite having plenty of tread. Ensure the battery and coolant are in good health, as long periods of inactivity frequently lead to premature failure of these systems.
