2007 Ford Fiesta 2.0L Petrol · CM07 MAR

The 2007 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 18 September 2025 at 73,235 miles. The tester recorded no defects or advisories during this most recent inspection, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards without issue. This unbroken string of clean passes demonstrates consistent mechanical care and suggests the previous owner addressed any emerging faults proactively before the annual test. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally low usage, averaging roughly 3,854 miles per year over the vehicle's nineteen-year lifespan. Between the April 2024 test at 71,935 miles and the September 2025 test at 73,235 miles, the Fiesta covered just 1,300 miles over a seventeen-month period. Such minimal use often points to short, localized journeys or extended periods of sitting stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and tyres, prolonged inactivity can cause its own issues, such as perished rubber suspension bushes or degraded brake calipers from standing. With zero recurring faults or structural advisories logged throughout the recorded history, the MOT data paints a picture of diligent upkeep. The anomaly on 8 March 2022 shows a failure with no defects recorded at 63,841 miles, immediately followed by a pass at 63,842 miles, likely representing a same-day retest after a minor rectification. A prospective buyer should still conduct a physical inspection focused on the specific risks associated with low-mileage, older vehicles. Check the condition of the tyres for date codes and sidewall cracking, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion from standing, and examine the exhaust system and underbody for any signs of structural rust that might not have triggered an MOT failure but could compromise long-term integrity.
