2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · LM07 FRF

The 2007 Ford Fiesta presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record, with its most recent MOT pass recorded on 22 December 2021 at 146,781 miles and no defects noted. That said, the vehicle has now been without a valid MOT for nearly five years, meaning a full reassessment of its current mechanical and structural condition is essential before any purchase. The historical trend is reassuring, but the lengthy gap since the last test introduces significant uncertainty. Mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between the November 2019 pass at 104,716 miles and the October 2020 pass at 118,865 miles, the car covered roughly 14,149 miles in under twelve months. From October 2020 to December 2021, it added a further 27,916 miles, bringing the total to 146,781. This equates to an annualised rate of around 22,000 miles in that final period, well above the 7,725-mile yearly average implied by the car's age. The MOT record itself is sparse, with only three valid passes across seven years and no mileage change between the December 2021 fail and pass entries, suggesting the car may have been stationary or used very little after that date. A buyer should treat this vehicle as untested and carry out a thorough inspection of the braking system, suspension bushes, coil springs, and underside structural integrity. The extended period without a valid MOT raises the likelihood of deteriorated brake discs and pads, binding calipers, and corrosion to mounting points or subframes. Exhaust emissions should also be verified, as a poorly maintained engine on a high-mileage petrol unit can easily drift outside legal limits. Tyre condition, steering linkage wear, and the operation of all lamps and seatbelt mechanisms must be checked in person, as no recent test confirms these systems remain compliant.
