2007 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · OV07 LDU

The vehicle is currently non-roadworthy as its MOT expired in January 2024. The January 2023 test passed but recorded persistent advisories including corroded brake pipes, oil leaks, and suspension dust cover deterioration, indicating ongoing maintenance neglect. Mileage shows consistent annual use of approximately 7,700 miles, typical for the car’s age. However, the gap between the last MOT in January 2023 and today exceeds three years, meaning no recent checks have verified current condition. The 2022-2023 period included a stop lamp failure resolved, but brake pipe corrosion and oil leaks continued unchecked. Buyers must inspect the offside rear brake pipe for active corrosion and leaks, as repeated advisories indicate unresolved deterioration. Check front suspension ball joints and dust covers for wear, which could compromise steering. Verify the oil leak source and engine seals. Assess current tyre condition and structural rust on brake pipes or chassis. The steering rack gaiter damage noted in 2021 requires inspection for dirt ingress risks.
