2007 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FG57 ORW

The 2007 Ford Fiesta presents a broadly stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 26 April 2023 at 142,809 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the May 2022 tests showed a clean pass at 130,984 miles on 12 May after a failed attempt three days earlier at 130,979 miles where the tester logged no defects. The absence of advisories across these entries suggests the car was not carrying obvious worn consumables or structural concerns into its final recorded test, though the sparse history limits deeper trend analysis. Mileage sat at 130,979 in May 2022 and rose to 142,809 by April 2023, an annualised gain of roughly 11,800 miles, above the lifetime average of about 7,516 miles per year. Over the wider life the odometer reflects typical use for a nineteen-year-old car, but the recorded gaps are wide: only three tests appear in the supplied data, with nothing between 2023 and today's date of 8 July 2026. That leaves a potential three-year, untested interval covering roughly 0 to 20,000 further miles depending on use, which a buyer must treat as unknown. The May 2022 failure with no defects noted is unusual and points to an administrative or presentational issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault on the vehicle. Because the records show no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the MOT alone gives no flag for ongoing wear trends. A clean sheet at 142,809 miles does not, however, certify condition three years on. In person, the buyer should scrutinise structural integrity for underbody rust, check brake calipers and discs for binding or lip wear, and inspect suspension arms and bushes for perishing after the long untested period. Verify the exhaust emissions and tyre tread against current limits, since consumables will have aged regardless of the last clean pass.
