2007 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · LN57 WTM

The 2007 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 136,298 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual examinations also returned clean passes. The single failure entry on 10 April 2024 at 131,564 miles is anomalous: the DVSA log shows no defects recorded against that failure, and the vehicle passed on the same day at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage tracks closely with typical use for a nineteen-year-old car. The odometer moved from 126,770 miles at the 22 March 2023 test to 131,564 miles by April 2024, then 135,016 miles in April 2025 and 136,298 miles in March 2026. Annual accumulation sits near 4,500 to 5,000 miles, below the 7,174-mile lifetime average, showing the car has seen lighter recent use. The history is sparse, with no advisories or consumable wear flags across five years, so the record alone gives no evidence of neglected upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across this period may reflect lenient testing rather than a fault-free chassis. At 136,298 miles and nineteen years old, structural rust on sills and subframes, degraded suspension mounting points, and worn drivetrain mounts are probable even if unrecorded. Check the exhaust emissions and catalytic converter health, and confirm the braking system shows no binding calipers or uneven disc wear from low-mileage standing. Verify the 10 April 2024 failure reason with DVSA, as the zero-defect record is irregular. Otherwise the MOT data supports a sound, lightly used example with no escalating fault pattern.
