Our Verdict
This Ford Fiesta is a sensible option for buyers seeking a low-mileage petrol hatchback. While it has seen one recent MOT failure, the recent clean records suggest it is currently in a stable state.
When inspecting this 1.2L petrol Fiesta, focus on the recent MOT history. Although the 2025 failure was resolved quickly, you should ask the seller what specific component caused the failure in March 2025 to ensure it was a minor issue rather than a recurring mechanical fault.
Given the vehicle's age, check for any signs of corrosion or wear that might not be captured in an MOT test. Ensure the service history is available to complement the MOT records, as the MOT only confirms the car met minimum safety standards at the time of testing, not its overall mechanical health.
With a 1242cc petrol engine, this Fiesta is positioned in a relatively low insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically efficient for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for older Fiestas are generally manageable due to the high availability of parts. You should budget for routine consumables like tyres and brake pads, which are common maintenance items for vehicles in this age bracket.
While the most recent MOT tests in 2025 and 2026 recorded no defects, you should be mindful of the aggregate failure trends for this model, which include headlamps, exhausts, and tyres. Inspect the headlight clarity and the condition of the exhaust system for excessive corrosion.
Check the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as tyres are a frequent reason for failure in the wider Ford Fiesta dataset. Additionally, because this is a 2007 model, inspect the rubber components and suspension bushings for signs of perishing or wear.
This 2007 silver Ford Fiesta has covered 85,373 miles over its approximately 18-year lifespan. The MOT history shows a relatively consistent pattern, with a single failure recorded in March 2025 at 82,913 miles, followed by two consecutive passes with no defects. Compared to the model aggregate average annual mileage of 5,839, this vehicle has been driven slightly more than the statistical average.
The Ford Fiesta shows a 77.6% average MOT pass rate across 1.5 million analysed vehicles, with common failures relating to lighting, exhausts, and tyres.
