2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AF07 OUC

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend despite its high mileage. The most recent test on 18 April 2024 at 194,217 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just two miles prior on the same day. This suggests that a minor issue was identified and immediately rectified to meet compliance standards, and the vehicle has since maintained a clean record without further advisories for the last two testing cycles. At 194,217 miles over 19 years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 10,222 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent operation, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between April 2022 and April 2023, and another 4,600 miles between April 2023 and April 2024. This regular interval indicates the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and internal fluid components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to high-mileage Ford models. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage demands a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lateral links for signs of excessive play. Given the age of the vehicle, a structural integrity check for corrosion on the rear sills and floor pans is essential. You should also inspect the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs, as the recent passes do not rule out components nearing their functional life.
