2007 Ford Fiesta 2.0L Petrol · DA56 JYY

The 2007 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 22 February 2022 at 166,320 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neutral rather than improving or worsening. The vehicle is currently over four years past its last test, so the recorded roadworthiness reflects a snapshot from early 2022 and not its present condition. The mileage sits at a typical 8,754 miles per year for a 19-year-old car, but the history shows an unusual cluster. On 15 February 2022 the tester failed the car at 166,274 miles, then passed it seven days later at 166,320 miles. Both entries list no defects, which suggests an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than genuine mechanical failure and repair. Beyond that pair of tests, the record is sparse and clean, offering little insight into long-term upkeep of consumables or structure. A buyer must treat the 2022 pass as expired and arrange a fresh MOT plus independent inspection before purchase. With no advisories logged, the Ford shows no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion in the supplied data, yet a car of this age and 166,320 miles will likely carry worn dampers, tired bushes, and underside rust unseen by the brief record. Prior owners gave no evidence of neglected basics like skipped tyre changes or repeated emissions failures, but the seven-day fail-pass with zero defects points to slipshod test handling rather than careful maintenance. Inspect structural integrity, exhaust condition, and brake binding in person, as the MOT trail alone cannot confirm the car's true mechanical state today.
