2007 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · TP05 BUD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 31 March 2025 at 58,177 miles. This pass occurred with no recorded defects, immediately following a failure just five days prior at 58,157 miles. While the record does not list the specific reasons for those failures, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass suggest a minor component adjustment or bulb-related issue that was quickly addressed, rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,062 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 52,333 miles and the April 2024 test at 55,367 miles, the car covered only 3,034 miles. This consistent low usage suggests the vehicle has spent long periods sitting stationary. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading, such as bushings and seals, due to age and lack of movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Ford Fiestas are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the low annual mileage, check the brake discs for flat spots or surface pitting, which frequently occurs when vehicles remain unused for extended periods. Inspect the suspension rubberwork and tyres for cracking or perish rot, as these materials age based on time regardless of how few miles are recorded on the odometer.
