2007 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · WU57 ABZ

The 2007 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 2023-11-24 at 79,771 miles, with no defects recorded. This suggests a stable maintenance trend over the past three years, as prior tests from 2022 and 2021 also showed no issues. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since 2023, leaving its current roadworthiness unverified. The absence of recurring faults in the history implies consistent upkeep, but the lack of recent testing raises concerns about potential undetected wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,771 miles at 19 years old equates to approximately 4,198 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and component degradation. Notably, the 2021-06-10 test recorded a failed result at 72,829 miles, though no defects were listed, and the same date shows a passed test at 72,830 miles—likely a data entry inconsistency. The 2020-03-19 test at 71,761 miles also passed without issues, indicating no immediate mechanical risks. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of rust, particularly in the underbody and wheel arches, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant conditions. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for stiffness or wear, as prolonged inactivity can cause these components to degrade. Test the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, and verify the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion. The absence of recorded defects is positive, but the lack of recent MOT data necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s current condition.
