2007 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FH57 DVF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 23 November 2023 at 151,298 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that satisfies basic legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 10,165 miles between 23 November 2021 and 13 December 2022, followed by a lower increase of 3,710 miles leading up to the November 2023 test. This average of roughly 7,963 miles per year indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and braking systems from seizing. The absence of recorded advisories or failures across the last three years is unusual for a nineteen year old Ford Fiesta. While the record is clean, the lack of mentioned wear on consumables suggests the data may be sparse or the vehicle has undergone significant off-record maintenance. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as structural rust is common for this era and often overlooked if not explicitly flagged by a tester. Physical inspection should focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs, which typically degrade at this mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking for play in the steering rack and examining the condition of the brake discs for pitting or lip formation is recommended. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential to avoid catastrophic engine failure.
