2007 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · TY03 ARM

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised following a failure in the April 2026 test at 121,533 miles. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the most recent result indicates a significant mechanical or structural defect that has not been addressed prior to this evaluation. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the vehicle moved from a period of perfect passes between 2023 and 2025 to an outright failure just two months after the last successful test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 101,473 miles and March 2025 at 115,212 miles, the car covered over 14,000 miles in two years, suggesting steady usage. The very short interval in April 2024, where the car failed at 109,090 miles and passed six days later at 109,093 miles, suggests a minor adjustment or consumable-related failure that was rectified immediately. A buyer must verify the specific reason for the April 2026 failure, as the lack of recorded defects on that entry is atypical. Given the age and mileage of this Fiesta, a physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion on the sills and subframe, which are common failure points for this generation. The suspension bushes and coil springs should also be examined closely for perished rubber or fractures, as the recent failure suggests components are wearing out. Without the specific failure details, the mechanical integrity of the vehicle remains opaque.
