Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage and recent MOT failure patterns. While the most recent test was a pass, the vehicle has failed two of its last three MOT tests.
Given the high mileage of over 145,000 miles, you should prioritise checking the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements. Because the MOT history shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, ask the seller for specific details on what caused these failures and what repairs were carried out to rectify them.
When inspecting this specific 1.4L petrol variant, check for any signs of suspension wear or exhaust corrosion, as these are common failure points for the Fiesta model. Ensure that the recent passing MOT in March 2025 was supported by a comprehensive inspection and not just a quick fix for a minor defect.
The 1388cc petrol engine is generally situated in a moderate insurance group, making it relatively affordable for many drivers. Fuel economy for this era of Fiesta is typically decent for a small hatchback, though high mileage may impact efficiency if maintenance is deferred.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage can be unpredictable. While parts are widely available and generally inexpensive for Fords, you should budget for more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items like brakes, tyres, and suspension components.
You should pay close attention to the lighting and exhaust systems, as these are noted as top failure reasons for this model across the wider data set. Even though no specific defects were recorded in the recent failures, these areas are statistically prone to issues in Fiestas.
Additionally, inspect the coil springs and suspension components. Given the vehicle has covered a high number of miles, the suspension may be nearing the end of its service life. Check for any unusual noises when driving over bumps or uneven surfaces.
This 2007 silver Ford Fiesta features a 1.4L petrol engine and has covered 145,716 miles as of its last MOT in March 2025. This mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,835 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures in 2024 and 2025, although no specific defect types were listed in the provided data.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with common failures related to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
