2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BT07 UWA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 14,700 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for high headlamp aim and corroded components. While the immediate mechanical faults were addressed, the recurring nature of corrosion-related issues on the offside rear coil spring suggests that the owner only addresses structural components once they reach the threshold of an MOT failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, having covered only 14,700 miles at an average of approximately 774 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered just 104 miles. This extremely low usage explains the lack of significant wear on the drivetrain and brakes, but it introduces specific risks related to material degradation. The record confirms that the rubber-based components are failing due to age and periods of standing rather than mechanical stress. A buyer must personally inspect the condition of the tyres thoroughly, as the record consistently flags cracking and perishing across multiple axles in 2023 and 2024. This is a classic symptom of dry rot in low-mileage vehicles that sit. The recurring corrosion on the offside rear coil spring noted in both 2023 and 2025 indicates that the suspension components are susceptible to environmental decay. Additionally, the state of the windscreen wipers and the registration plates should be checked, as these have been persistent points of failure across the last three years.
