2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GK07 TZC

The most recent MOT test on 08 January 2026 shows a pass, but the vehicle exhibits a worsening trend regarding brake system corrosion. The tester flagged both the offside front and offside rear brake pipes as corroded and covered in grease or other material. This specific advisory has appeared in every recorded test since January 2023, indicating that the corrosion is a persistent issue that has not been rectified. The vehicle has covered 82,952 miles over its 19-year lifespan, averaging approximately 4,366 miles per year. This represents low annual usage for a 2007 model. While the record provides a consistent annual testing pattern from 2023 through early 2026, the low mileage does not preclude the development of age-related issues such as the observed corrosion or the deterioration of the front registration plate noted in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically looking for the extent of the corrosion on the offside front and rear brake pipes. The recurring nature of this advisory suggests the pipes may require replacement to prevent future failure. The record also shows repeated advisories for distorted road wheels, specifically the nearside rear in 2024 and the nearside front in 2025, which warrants an inspection of the wheel rims for structural integrity or impact damage. The 2024 failure due to severely reduced headlamp intensity, which was later resolved by the 2025 and 2026 passes, indicates previous issues with lighting output. Given the age of the vehicle and the specific advisories regarding headlamp lens defects in the January 2026 test, checking the clarity and condition of all light housings is necessary. buying_score: 45 risk_level: High.
