2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AV07 RYH

The 2026‑04‑15 MOT at 29,966 miles confirms the 2007 Ford Fiesta is presently roadworthy, the only recorded defect being a near‑side rear tyre that is slightly damaged or perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). No structural, brake or suspension failures were noted, indicating a stable maintenance record with no worsening mechanical trends. The vehicle’s mileage has risen steadily from 20,089 miles in April 2014 to 29,966 miles in April 2026, an average annual increase of roughly 1,577 miles, consistent with its 19‑year age and low usage pattern. No large gaps appear in the annual logs; each successive test shows a modest mileage gain, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of standing. Recurring tyre perishing on the near‑side rear (and front in 2019) points to possible neglect of tyre maintenance or exposure to adverse storage conditions, while the 2025 washer‑fluid deficiency and 2024 inoperative registration lamp indicate minor ancillary issues. The absence of repeated brake, suspension or structural defect entries implies that major mechanical risks remain low, though the tyre wear near legal limits in 2019 warrants close inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for binding or excessive wear. A buyer should therefore examine the tyre condition, especially the near‑side rear and front tread and sidewalls, assess the integrity of suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or binding, verify brake discs and calipers for excessive wear or sticking, inspect the chassis and wheel arches for rust or structural damage, and test the washer jets and registration lighting.
