Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a low-maintenance small car. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pass record with no defects in the last two years.
When inspecting this specific 1.2L Fiesta, focus on the mechanical components that typically affect this model. Although the recent MOTs show no defects, you should verify if any preventative maintenance has been done on the exhaust or suspension, as these are common failure points for the Fiesta across the wider model aggregate data.
Ask the seller for any evidence of recent work regarding the headlamps or coil springs, as these are statistically the most frequent reasons for failure in this model. Given the vehicle is approaching 100,000 miles, check for any signs of fluid leaks or wear in the suspension bushings that might not have triggered an MOT advisory yet.
The 1242cc petrol engine is positioned in a relatively low insurance group and tax band, making it an economical choice for urban driving. Fuel economy for this era of Fiesta is generally efficient for a small petrol engine, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically manageable due to the wide availability of parts. You should budget for standard consumables such as tyres, brakes, and oil changes, alongside potential repairs to common items like headlamps or exhaust components as the vehicle ages.
Based on the aggregate data for Ford Fiestas, pay close attention to the headlamps to ensure they are clear and functioning correctly, and inspect the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or loose mounting points. The coil springs should also be checked for any signs of sagging or cracking.
On this specific vehicle, although the 2023 failure was recorded without specific defect details in the summary, the subsequent two years of clean passes suggest these issues were addressed. Check the underside of the car for any immediate signs of rust or wear that could lead to future MOT failures.
This 2007 silver Ford Fiesta features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 99,007 miles as of its last test. While it has reached the five-figure mileage milestone, the MOT history is notably clean for its age, with the most recent tests in 2024 and 2025 recording no defects. The vehicle has maintained a steady mileage progression since 2022.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs being the most frequent failure points.
