Our Verdict
A strong option for those seeking a low-
Given the low mileage relative to its age, the primary focus should be on age-related wear rather than mechanical fatigue. Check for perished rubber components, such as coolant hoses and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade even if the car is not driven frequently.
Ensure you request the full service history to verify that oil and filter changes were performed at regular intervals, regardless of the low annual mileage. Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and any immediate needs highlighted by the recent MOT advisories.
The 1.4L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, keeping fuel costs manageable. As a 2007 model, it typically falls into a lower insurance group, making it an economical choice for new drivers or those using it as a secondary vehicle.
Annual running costs will be influenced by the age of the car, as older vehicles may require more frequent small repairs. Maintenance should be focused on keeping the lighting and braking systems up to date to avoid the minor MOT failures seen in this vehicle's history.
Inspect the lighting system thoroughly, as the MOT history shows repeated failures regarding headlamp aim and dipped beam operation in 2024 and 2025. Check the rear direction indicators for the discolouration noted in the February 2026 MOT record.
Beyond the specific history of this car, inspect the exhaust system and the front coil springs. According to aggregate data for over 1.5 million Fiestas, these are among the most common failure points for this model and should be checked for corrosion or cracks.
This blue 2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L petrol has covered 64,224 miles, which is well under the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history indicates a consistent pattern of minor lighting issues that were resolved on the day of testing. The most recent test in February 2026 passed with advisories regarding discoloured rear indicators.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs identified as the most frequent failure points.
