2007 Ford Fiesta 2.0L Petrol · H18 OGY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 73,813 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a significant failure in late 2022. While the 2022 test revealed multiple mechanical failures, the subsequent clean sheet in 2026 indicates that the identified faults were addressed and that the vehicle is currently operating in a stable state of repair. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,885 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between December 2020 and December 2022, where the car covered only 4,659 miles over two years. This low annual mileage often correlates with periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluids despite low mechanical wear. The jump of 937 miles between 2022 and 2026 suggests more consistent recent use. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system, as nearside discs were flagged as pitted and scored in both 2021 and 2022. Although these were replaced or repaired, the recurring nature of this advisory suggests a vulnerability to corrosion, common in low-use vehicles. The offside front prop shaft CV boot, which failed in 2022, also warrants visual inspection for grease leakage or further tearing to ensure the replacement has held up to standard. The 2022 failure involving an inoperative engine management light and a major exhaust leak requires verification that the entire exhaust system is currently sound and the engine management sensors are functioning correctly. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity and rust is essential, as low-mileage records do not protect against the effects of environmental exposure over two decades.
