2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FM07 OVH

The 2007 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 54,691 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 18 March 2025 at 52,865 miles. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the five-year MOT window. Recorded mileage sits at 54,691 against a 19-year lifespan, averaging roughly 2,878 miles per year. The March 2023 test logged 48,973 miles, rising to 51,033 by March 2024, then 52,864 on 17 March 2025 before a same-week pass at 52,865. The owner failed the 17 March 2025 test with no defects listed, then retested and passed the next day; this points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which typically accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion risk over mechanical wear. The DVSA record flags no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe, as MOT passes on low-mileage cars often miss early surface corrosion hidden by underseal. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking from age, not wear, given the limited annual coverage. Previous keepers maintained the car to a passable standard without deferred consumables showing in the data. The single 2025 failure with zero defects implies clerical handling, not neglected upkeep. Given the clean history, in-person checks should focus on age-related degradation invisible to the tester rather than outstanding mechanical defects.
