2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LS57 UAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on May 6, 2026 at 60,955 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive preventative care. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the history reveals a recurring pattern of avoidable failures that were addressed only after being flagged. This suggests the owner prioritises repairs only when mandated by the MOT testing process rather than performing regular independent checks. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,955 miles represents exceptionally low usage, averaging 3,208 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-mileage intervals, with only 3,944 miles covered between April 2024 and May 2026. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to age-related degradation of materials. The record confirms this, evidenced by repeated failures of rubber-based components which have suffered from time and exposure despite the low distance driven. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the nearside tyre has been flagged for perishing and damage across three consecutive years since 2024. The structural failure in April 2024 on the offside rear tyre further highlights the risk of dry rot in this vehicle. Additionally, the front lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers were found severely deteriorated in pairs, indicating that various rubber bushings are reaching the end of their service life. Given the vehicle's age, an inspection should also check for corrosion on the chassis and brake lines, as these are common points of failure for low-mileage, older cars that sit for extended periods.
