2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · KA07 RTV

The 2007 Ford Fiesta presents a clean bill of health in its most recent MOT, passing on 11 April 2026 at 31,314 miles with zero defects. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. A pattern of minor advisories in earlier years has given way to consecutive passes with no flagged items, suggesting the last keeper addressed outstanding issues and kept on top of basic servicing. The mileage profile tells a consistent story. At roughly 1,648 miles per year over nineteen years, this is exceptionally low annual usage. The record shows steady, incremental accumulation: 27,732 miles in July 2022, 28,617 in July 2023, 29,641 in July 2024, 30,635 in July 2025, and 31,314 in April 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. The vehicle appears to have been used sparingly but regularly, with no prolonged periods of total inactivity evident from the data. The 2023 test at 28,617 miles flagged corrosion on both front-to-rear brake pipes, noted as being covered in grease or other material. That defect has not reappeared in subsequent tests, which implies the pipes were either cleaned, treated, or replaced. Still, a buyer should physically inspect the underside for fresh corrosion, particularly along the brake lines, subframe, and suspension mounting points. Low-mileage cars that sit for extended periods can develop surface rust on components that would otherwise stay cleaner on regularly driven vehicles. The 2022 test flagged perished tyres across all four wheels, pointing to age-related rubber degradation rather than high wear. The 2026 pass with no tyre advisories suggests those were replaced, but a buyer should check the date codes on the current tyres to confirm they are recent and not a budget replacement set already ageing. Given the clean recent record, the main risk is not mechanical neglect but the kind of deterioration that comes from infrequent use: dried seals, stale fuel, and corroded brake components that may not surface on a short test drive.
