2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GX57 AVZ

The vehicle maintains a clean record of roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 18 September 2025 resulting in a pass at 55,040 miles. While the record shows a failed test immediately preceding the pass on both 18 September 2025 and 2 September 2024, the absence of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor issues rectified on-site rather than systemic mechanical neglect. The overall trend is stable, indicating that the vehicle has been presented consistently for its annual inspection without accumulating significant repair requirements. At 55,040 miles over nineteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 2,897 miles per annum. This low usage pattern suggests the car has spent considerable time stationary, which often leads to specific maintenance risks such as seized brake components, perished rubber seals, and potential internal corrosion within the fuel system or engine block. The steady, low-mileage accumulation between the 50,045 miles recorded in September 2023 and the current mileage shows that the vehicle remains in active use, which is generally preferable to a car that has been left entirely dormant for several years. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components are prone to corrosion and seizing when a vehicle is driven infrequently. Check the underside of the chassis and the sills for structural rust, as the age of this Ford Fiesta makes it susceptible to oxidation in areas that may not be fully visible during a standard roadside MOT. Confirm that the tyres show even wear patterns, as the low mileage might mask long-term degradation of the rubber compound. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the vehicle appears to have been treated with basic care, but a thorough check of the fluid levels and the condition of the exhaust system is recommended to ensure no hidden deterioration exists from its extended periods of inactivity.
