2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · SL07 WSV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant lapse in testing. The most recent inspection in September 2021 at 96,113 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just five days prior. This suggests that whatever minor issue was identified was immediately rectified to meet minimum standards. However, because there is no MOT data recorded for the past five years, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified through DVSA records, and the car is significantly overdue for tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year over the 96,113 recorded miles. This low usage often correlates with less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, there is a notable three-year gap between the 2018 test at 93,650 miles and the 2021 test at 96,113 miles, during which the car covered only 2,463 miles. Such periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seized braking hardware despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and age-related decay that low mileage does not prevent. Priority should be given to checking corrosion on sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounts, which are common failure points for this era. Check for binding calipers or perished brake lines, as the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods. Given the lack of recent data, a professional check of the fluid condition and the state of the suspension bushes is essential to ensure the aged mechanical systems are still functioning correctly after years of limited use.
