2007 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · BD07 UTA

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in its most recent test in June 2025 at 94,736 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory as the mechanical defects identified in previous years have been addressed and rectified. While the history indicates intermittent failures, the lack of recent advisories suggests that the current owner is responsive to safety-critical faults rather than ignoring developing issues. At approximately 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,736 miles is notably low, averaging under 5,000 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with only roughly 6,500 miles driven between the June 2023 and June 2024 tests. This low-intensity usage typically reduces the internal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it often increases the risk of dry rot in rubber-based parts and the seizing of brake components due to long periods of or or inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system given the previous failures in these areas. The 2023 failure involved an offside track rod end and a leaking nearside rear shock absorber, while the 2024 failure highlighted a lagging offside front service brake. You must verify that the track rod ends remain free of play and that the brake calipers are moving freely without signs of corrosion or binding. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity or developing corrosion on the sills is also essential, as these are common failure points for this generation of Ford Fiesta.
