2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GL56 XLA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. Following a test conducted on 23 November 2024 at 167,399 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical or structural issues have been addressed. While the history shows failures in 2022 and 2023, the clean result of the last two tests suggests the vehicle is currently maintained to an acceptable operational standard. At 167,399 miles over 19 years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 8,810 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for an older urban vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 5,300 miles driven between October 2022 and November 2023 tests, and another 5,332 miles recorded between November 2023 and November 2024. This regular interval suggests active use rather than long periods of standing, which generally preserves internal seals and prevents component seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely triggered the previous failures, although the specific reasons were not detailed in the summary provided. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches, is essential to rule out hidden corrosion. The buyer should also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these are common points of failure on Fiestas of this. Testing the braking system for binding calipers or thin discs will also ensure the recent pass reflects the current state of the hardware.
