2007 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YY07 AAU

The 2007 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend in its most recent MOT, passed on 2025-10-20 at 66,714 miles, with only minor issues noted such as a deteriorated rear registration plate. Previous tests reveal recurring concerns with brake pipe corrosion and tyre condition, but these have not escalated into critical failures. The 2024-10-03 test identified corroded brake pipes and loose body components, while the 2023-09-21 test highlighted multiple tyre faults and a missing steering rack gaiter. Despite these, the vehicle has maintained compliance without major structural or mechanical defects in the latest assessment. The mileage of 66,714 miles over 19 years equates to an average of 3,511 miles annually, which is below the typical usage for this age. The MOT records show consistent testing intervals, with no significant gaps between assessments. However, the 2024-10-02 failure and subsequent 2024-10-03 pass suggest intermittent maintenance, possibly due to delayed repairs. The 2023-09-15 failure included multiple tyre issues and a non-functional stop lamp, indicating potential oversight in routine checks. The low mileage may reflect infrequent use, but it does not eliminate risks associated with age-related degradation. A buyer should inspect the brake pipes for corrosion, particularly near flexi joints, and assess the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given past issues. Tyre condition remains a concern, with repeated damage and wear noted. The steering rack gaiter’s absence in 2023 highlights potential ingress of dirt, which could affect long-term reliability. Structural integrity appears intact, but the vehicle’s history underscores the need for a thorough mechanical inspection of braking systems and tyre wear patterns before purchase.
