2007 Ford Fiesta 2.0L Petrol · MH03 DOM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 26 August 2025 at 87,635 miles resulted in a clean pass, marking a significant departure from the recurring faults seen in previous years. This shift indicates that the persistent exhaust issue which lasted for several seasons has finally been addressed, leaving the car in a stable state regarding reported defects. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 87,635 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with intervals of 6,000 to 8,000 miles recorded between each annual test from 2021 to 2025. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid integrity that does not always correlate with distance traveled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system to ensure the repair made after the 2023 and 2024 tests is robust and not a temporary fix. The 2021 test flagged a corroded brake pipe obscured by grease, which is a common tactic to hide structural decay; therefore, a thorough check of hydraulic lines for further corrosion is essential. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, the chassis should be examined for surface rust and perished suspension bushes, as these components are prone to age-related failure regardless of low mechanical wear.
