2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AF07 NTT

The most recent MOT entry for this 2007 Ford Fiesta is dated 22 March 2023, when the vehicle passed at the recorded mileage with no advisories or defects logged by the tester. Prior to that, a test on 17 March 2023 resulted in a failure, again with no specific defects recorded in the data supplied, followed by a pass on 07 January 2022. With only three MOT events on file and roughly three and a half years having elapsed since the last recorded test, the documented record is sparse and does not extend close to the present date. The absence of recorded advisories across these entries limits any trend analysis, but the failure immediately preceding the pass suggests a specific issue was identified and addressed within the same month, which is at least consistent with a prompt remedial repair rather than a long-standing unresolved fault. The recorded mileage of 147,639 miles against a 2007 registration places this Fiesta at roughly 7,770 miles per year, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of its age and segment. However, the MOT history shows only a single mileage reading from 2022 and no progressive figures between the three tests, making it impossible to verify the annual rate from the DVSA data alone. The large gap between January 2022 and March 2023, combined with the missing entries from earlier years, means the mileage progression is not independently confirmed by the test record. Buyers should therefore treat the odometer reading as unverified by MOT history and cross-check it against the V5C logbook, service invoices, and any dashboard photograph evidence before purchase. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, components most likely to require physical inspection include the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are common wear points on high-mileage Fiestas of this generation. The braking system, particularly the rear drum or caliper mechanisms, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, and the exhaust system inspected for corrosion given the car's nineteen years of service. A thorough examination of the underbody and structural sections, including sills, subframes, and mounting points, is essential to rule out corrosion that MOT advisories would have flagged had they been recorded. Finally, confirming the current MOT status directly with the DVSA is advisable, as the last documented test is now significantly out of date.
