2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AF57 VPX

The 2007 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 June 2025 at 73,277 miles. The maintenance trend is stable with no live defects or advisories carried on the record. Two earlier failures in 2023 and 2025 show a pattern of presentation without recorded defects, suggesting administrative or undocumented pre-check issues rather than mechanical deterioration. Recorded mileage sits at 73,277 against an April 2007 build, averaging roughly 3,857 miles per year. The car gained just 6,522 miles between the April 2023 test at 61,227 miles and the June 2025 pass. Low annual use implies light duty, though standing periods can age rubber bushes, brake hoses, and tyres invisibly. The sparse history shows no advisories across any test, so wear items were either renewed quietly or never flagged. A buyer should still confirm structural integrity and underbody corrosion at the sills and suspension mounts, as the MOT gives no advisory detail. Check the front coil springs, track-rod ends, and brake disc condition for age-related fatigue. The twin failure-then-pass pairs in May 2025 and April 2023 warrant a look at why the car was rejected with no defects logged, likely a paperwork or emissions-readiness quirk rather than a hard fault. Given the clean recent pass and low mileage, the Fiesta reads as a lightly used older hatchback with no flagged mechanical risks. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on perished consumables from standing and confirmation that the 2025 failure was not a concealed brake or lamp fault cleared before retest.
