2007 Ford Fiesta Silver TD 1.4L Diesel · LNZ 4042

This 2007 Ford Fiesta TDCI has maintained a consistent MOT history with no recorded defects across five consecutive tests, the most recent of which occurred just under two years ago on 29 October 2022. The absence of advisories or failures in any of the tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues that would necessitate repeated attention. However, the lack of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough inspection of high-wear components, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The last test was conducted at 139,981 miles, meaning it has since accumulated approximately 1,500 miles without a formal assessment—an interval that, while not excessive, still warrants scrutiny of critical systems. The mileage progression indicates a steady usage pattern, averaging around 7,367 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that would raise concerns about neglect or excessive wear. The gap between the 2021 and 2019 tests—covering 4,101 miles—was the longest, yet the vehicle passed without issue, implying consistent maintenance or a benign driving environment. The most recent MOT was conducted just over two years after the previous one, which is within the standard 12-month interval, though it now stands slightly overdue by current standards. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, for signs of fatigue or corrosion. The brakes—particularly the rear calipers and discs—should be checked for binding or excessive wear, as older vehicles are prone to brake fluid degradation and hydraulic issues. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and sills, must be examined for corrosion, as this model is susceptible to rust-related failures. Additionally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions systems in TDCI engines can deteriorate over time. While the MOT history suggests no major failures, these areas are common failure points for vehicles of this age and mileage.
