2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CE57 FPO

The 2007 Ford Fiesta presents a clean MOT history over the past three years, with no defects recorded in any of the five tests between June 2023 and June 2025. The most recent entries—both a pass and a fail on June 27, 2025, at 107,810 and 107,807 miles respectively—demonstrate a stable trend, as the vehicle has consistently met all roadworthiness criteria without advisories or major concerns. The repeated failures at identical mileages suggest a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical one, given the absence of defects in either test. This consistency implies the car has been maintained to a standard where critical components—brakes, suspension, steering, and structural integrity—have not deteriorated beyond MOT thresholds. The Fiesta’s mileage accumulation of roughly 5,674 miles per year is unusually low for its age, indicating either infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity. Between June 2023 (91,069 miles) and June 2025 (107,810 miles), the car covered just 16,741 miles in two years, a pace that suggests it may not have been driven regularly. This could mean reduced wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, but it also raises questions about fluid health—oils, coolants, and brake fluid—since stagnation can accelerate corrosion or seal degradation. The lack of advisories in any test further supports the idea that maintenance has been diligent, though a buyer should verify whether fluids have been changed on schedule. Given the absence of defects, the primary focus for a prospective buyer should be on components not routinely checked during MOTs. The suspension—particularly the bushes, coil springs, and dampers—should be inspected for wear, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation. Binding calipers or uneven brake pad thickness could still be present despite clean MOTs, so brake function and disc condition warrant close examination. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, should be checked thoroughly, as rust can compromise safety without immediately failing an MOT. Finally, while the Fiesta’s emissions history is unremarkable, a pre-purchase inspection of the exhaust system for leaks or blockages is prudent, given the car’s age and the potential for undetected wear.
