2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DS57 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive passes without any recorded advisories. The most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 60,235 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a clean result in June 2024, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,170 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between November 2021 and December 2022, where the car covered only 1,772 miles in thirteen months. However, the usage increased more recently, with 6,509 miles covered between December 2022 and June 2025. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, such infrequent often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues that do not manifest through mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age in low-mileage vehicles. Although the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for structural corrosion in the sills and wheel arches, which are common on this Fiesta generation. Inspect the suspension bushes and perished rubber seals for cracks, as these dry out over time regardless of distance driven. The single failure on 7 December 2022 at 53,725 miles was resolved immediately by the following day, but the buyer should verify the brake calipers for signs of seizing or rust caused by long periods of inactivity.
