2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · KM57 DTU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent test on June 10, 2025 at 176,236 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a failure exactly one day prior at nearly identical mileage, suggesting a minor mechanical adjustment or bulb-related issue that the owner rectified immediately to ensure a clean pass. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passes indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting minimum standards for safety and environmental emissions despite its age. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 176,236 miles reflects an annual average of approximately 9,276 miles, which aligns with typical UK usage for a smaller hatchback. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 14,562 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 14,589 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent seal degradation and fluid issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to high-mileage Ford models. While the MOT record is clean of structural failures, the mileage suggests significant wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers which may be nearing their service life. Inspect the chassis for corrosion particularly on the sills and wing arches, as these areas often deteriorate without triggering an MOT advisory until they become structural risks. Given the consistent mileage, checking the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is also essential to ensure the braking system remains as effective as the test pass suggests.
