2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MA57 KWF

The vehicle shows a worsening trend regarding structural and fuel system integrity. While the most recent test on 21 January 2026 passed, the record shows a failure just one day prior due to an exhaust Lambda reading outside specified limits. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of corrosion and deterioration that has escalated from minor advisories to more significant concerns. The recorded mileage of 75,419 miles is low for a 2007 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,969 miles per year. The MOT data shows consistent annual testing, with the most recent entries occurring in January 2026, 2025, and 2024. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has not been subject to heavy long-distance driving, though the frequency of advisories indicates that age-related degradation is present despite the lower mileage. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the underside and structural components. The tester flagged corroding offside rear brake pipes and nearside rear brake and fuel pipes in both the January 2020 and January 2026 tests. This indicates a persistent issue with corrosion in the braking and fuel lines that has not been resolved. The nearside outer sill was also noted as damaged in January 2024 and again in January 2026, suggesting potential structural concerns or ongoing deterioration in that area. Potential buyers must also examine the exhaust system and suspension. The record shows a history of exhaust issues, including a deteriorating flexi pipe in January 2024, a slight blow at the rear join in January 2025, and a Lambda failure in January 2026. Additionally, the rear coil springs have been flagged for corrosion in both 2023 and 2025. The presence of a slight leak from the offside front inner driveshaft/gearbox oil seal, first noted in January 2024, warrants a close check for active fluid loss. buying_score: 42 risk_level: High.
