2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · SG07 FDZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent clean pass following a period of mechanical instability. In the final test conducted in November 2021 at 114,586 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that after the issues identified in late 2019, the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied all DVSA safety and emission requirements for that specific inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nineteen-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between November 2019 and November 2021, the car covered 12,015 miles, showing steady and low-intensity usage. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on drivetrain components and braking systems, though the significant gap since the last recorded MOT over four and a half years ago as of June 2026 means the current roadworthiness is entirely unverified and likely suffers from degradation due to age or long-term standing. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on components most likely to fail during long periods of inactivity or advanced age. While the 2019 failures suggest previous mechanical issues, the subsequent clean records imply those faults were rectified. However, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wing arches, which are common on this model. Given the time elapsed since the last test, checking for perished suspension bushes, leaking seals, and brake corrosion in the calipers is essential as these parts often degrade regardless of low mileage.
