2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YR07 SRY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 36,998 miles, but the tester noted the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit. Looking back, the same tyre advisory appeared in the April 2025 test and a front tyre tread failure caused a fail in April 2018, while a fractured offside front coil spring led to a fail in March 2021 that was not present in subsequent passes. These points suggest a pattern of front‑end wear that has been addressed intermittently but not eliminated. At 36,998 miles the car averages roughly 1,950 miles per year over its 19‑year life, indicating low usage and possibly long periods standing. The test record shows a steady annual MOT with no large jumps in mileage; the highest yearly increase is between March 2020 and March 2021 when the odometer rose only 162 miles. Such low mileage can preserve consumables but may allow corrosion or fatigue to develop in components that are not exercised regularly. A prospective buyer should examine the front tyres for uneven wear and measure tread depth, paying particular attention to the nearside side. Check the front coil springs for signs of fracture or corrosion, especially the offside spring that was recorded as broken in 2021. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or surface rust, and look over the suspension bushes and subframe for any deterioration that could be exacerbated by infrequent use.
