2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CA56 KHC

The MOT record for this 2007 Ford Fiesta shows an inconsistent maintenance trend, moving from a failure in February 2022 to a clean pass in March 2022. While the most recent recorded test indicates the vehicle met minimum regulatory standards, the lack of data between March 2022 and the current date of August 2026 suggests a significant gap in documented roadworthiness testing. The vehicle has covered 52,623 miles over its 19-year lifespan, averaging approximately 2,770 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with a vehicle that spends long periods stationary. Such usage patterns can often lead to issues with rubber components, such as perished suspension bushes or ageing tyre sidewalls, and can cause brake components to seize or corrode due to lack of regular friction. The February 2022 failure, although no specific defects were listed in the provided summary, indicates a previous inability to meet safety standards. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system for binding calipers or corroded discs, which often affects low-use vehicles. Given the age and low mileage, checking the structural integrity for underside corrosion and inspecting the condition of all suspension mounts and rubber seals is necessary. The sparse nature of the recent history means the current mechanical state cannot be verified through documentation alone. A physical inspection of the exhaust system, tyre tread depth, and fluid levels is required to determine if the low mileage has resulted in degradation from inactivity rather than wear from use. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
