2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · RF07 ONV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 87,059 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one mile prior at 87,058 miles. This immediate rectification suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial component failure that was addressed instantly, indicating that the overall mechanical condition remains compliant with current DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage intervals between 2022 and 2026, with the car covering roughly 9,000 miles since December 2022 and another 3,400 miles leading to the January 2026 test. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the drying of fluids if left stationary, regardless of the distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas prone to age-related decay in low-mile Ford Festas. The record shows no recurring mechanical failures, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches. Additionally, inspect the state of the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, as these often perish over time rather than through wear from mileage. Given the low usage, verify the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers have not seised due to periods of inactivity.
