2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AR07 FLP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last several years. The most recent inspection on 12 June 2024 at 132,290 miles resulted with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in early June 2023, the immediate re-pass five days later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between May 2021 at 101,672 miles and June 2024 at 132,290 miles, the car covered 30,618 miles, showing a steady usage rate. This low annual mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of rubber component degradation and brake corrosion due to infrequent use. The lack of significant gaps between testing intervals suggests the vehicle has been kept in a regular maintenance schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for a Ford Fiesta of this era, despite the clean MOT history. Given the age and mileage, a close check for structural rust on the sills, floor pans, and wheel arches is essential as these areas often deteriorate before mechanical components. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these perish over time regardless of mileage. Since the mileage is low, verify the brake calipers for seizing or pitting, which frequently occurs on vehicles that sit without operation.
