2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FM07 HDO

The 2007 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 26,040 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in June 2024, 2023, and 2022 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 20 June 2024 at 25,302 miles recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 26,040 against an approximate 19-year lifespan, equating to roughly 1,371 miles per year. The car added only 738 miles between the June 2022 test at 23,399 miles and the June 2023 test at 24,474 miles. A further 828 miles accrued to the June 2024 test at 25,302 miles, then 738 miles to the 2025 pass. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods. The MOT data shows no gaps in annual testing and no advisories on corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across the five-year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage with long dormancy risks perished rubber components, seized calipers, and sub-frame corrosion invisible to a pass-only test. The tester logged no structural integrity concerns, yet standing vehicles commonly develop hidden rust in sills and floor pans. Verify the 2024 failure anomaly with DVSA before purchase. Check tyre sidewall cracking, brake binding after a road test, and fluid condition. The history implies a lightly used, basic-maintenance ownership rather than neglected abuse, but static storage wear remains the principal unknown.
