2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YR07 XFP

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness status due to a significant lapse in recent testing data. While the last recorded test on 14 October 2022 at 162,737 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed, the car has not undergone an MOT inspection in nearly four years. This gap suggests the vehicle has either sat stationary for long periods or is operating without a valid test certificate, making it impossible to confirm the current mechanical integrity or safety-critical components without a fresh professional inspection. At 162,737 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 8,565 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a 19-year-old car. The record shows a consistent accumulation of mileage between 2020 and 2021, with the vehicle covering roughly 7,500 miles between the October 2020 and October 2021 tests. However, the lack of data since the October 2022 failure means any wear on the drivetrain, suspension, or rubber degradation components has likely progressed significantly over the last 44 months without any official oversight. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and common failure points for this generation. Given the age and high mileage, check for advanced corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points. You should also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking and inspect the brake system for signs of binding calipers or heavily pitted discs. Because the 2022 failure lacked specific recorded defects, the cause remains a mystery—potentially an emissions issue or a minor mechanical fault that was never addressed before the vehicle fell out of the testing cycle.
