2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · KM07 AEK

The most recent MOT on 28 February 2023 passed, confirming roadworthiness at that date with only minor front headlamp lens defects and an off‑side rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. Earlier failures on suspension, wheels and brakes have been rectified in subsequent tests, indicating a stabilising maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. Mileage of 89 961 miles over a 19‑year lifespan averages roughly 4 735 miles per year, well below the typical annual run‑rate for a 2007 Fiesta. The increase from 81 520 miles in March 2021 to 87 168 miles in March 2022 (≈5 648 miles) and then to 89 961 miles by February 2023 (≈2 793 miles) shows modest, consistent usage. No recorded mileage exists after the 2023 test, so recent mileage and wear remain unverified. A prospective buyer should scrutinise the tyre and wheel condition, as repeated advisories cite tyres near the legal tread limit and wheels slightly distorted, which may signal rim out‑of‑roundness or damage. Inspect the lower suspension arm ball joint for excessive play, given its progression from slight play in 2020‑2021 to excessive wear noted in 2022. Verify brake balance and disc condition, as front brake imbalance and disc wear have been flagged. Examine the exhaust flexi pipe for cracks or corrosion, a recurring issue from 2022 onward. Confirm the operation of the seat‑tilt mechanisms, wiper blades, registration plate lamp and rear stop lamp, all of which have appeared repeatedly in the record.
