2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SL07 PXW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent MOT on 11 November 2023 at 96,383 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in 2022 and 2021, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2007 model, averaging roughly 5,073 miles per year. Between 15 November 2021 and 11 November 2023, the vehicle covered 20,490 miles. This indicates a steady increase in usage over the last few years compared to its overall lifetime average. The failure on 8 November 2021 was resolved within a week, as evidenced by the pass on 15 November 2021 at 75,893 miles. Despite the absence of recorded defects, the vehicle has not had an MOT since November 2023. Given today's date of 27 July 2026, the car is significantly overdue for a test and has likely been stationary for over two years. Long periods of inactivity often lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. A physical inspection should focus on signs of corrosion, particularly on the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for Fiestas of this era. The buyer must check for flat spots on the tyres and verify that the braking system is not binding due to prolonged standing. A full service is recommended to address any oil degradation or fluid contamination resulting from the recent gap in usage.
