2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AP07 AXK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT test on 30 April 2024 at 147,252 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day. This suggests the previous owner was willing to rectify any identified issues immediately to ensure compliance, and the car has maintained a clean record without advisories since the March 2023 test. At 19 years old, the Ford Fiesta has covered an average distance of approximately 7,750 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent movement, with a 5,128 mile gap between January 2022 and March 2023, and another 3,135 miles between March 2023 and April 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to rubber degradation and seized components, though the high total mileage necessitates mechanical scrutiny. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are the areas likely to fail on high-mileage older Fords. Examine the chassis for corrosion around the sills and mounting points, and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear. Given the failures in 2022 and 2024, a thorough check for binding brake calipers or uneven tyre wear is advisable to ensure that previous issues are not resurfacing.
