2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BN07 LDE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on January 19, 2026, 89,669 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent failure involved only a minor washer fluid issue, previous tests reveal a recurring failure to address mechanical and safety components before they expired. The history suggests the owner only addresses faults once they reach the threshold of an MOT-test failure. At 89,669 miles, this 19-year-old Fiesta has covered low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components as seen in the record. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered only 4,045 miles, yet it suffered from significant issues including perished tyres, deteriorated dust covers, and corro pipes. This indicates that the vehicle is likely suffering from age-related decay and environmental corrosion rather than distance-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The front suspension arm ball joint dust covers were flagged as severely deteriorated in both 2024 and 2025, indicating a potential risk of joint failure if not replaced. Furthermore, the rear brake pipes and fuel pipes showed signs of corrosion in 2024 and 2025, which requires a close look for structural integrity in the fluid lines to ensure no leaks have developed beyond the surface. The front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored across two consecutive years, suggesting the metal has reached the end of its effective life or is being neglected during light use. Given the history of perishing and cracking tyres in 2024, the buyer should check for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as the low mileage often allows the rubber to dry out over time.
