This 2007 Fiesta Zetec Climate is a significantly weaker MOT performer than the UK average: just 46.3% pass first time versus 80% nationwide. However, there's a critical data anomaly here—the petrol variant shows an implausibly low 0.2% pass rate while the "Other" fuel type (likely LPG conversions) achieves 80.7%, suggesting the petrol figure may be corrupted or based on very small sample sizes.

At nearly 90,000 miles median mileage for a 17-year-old car, these vehicles are well-used, and the 0.75 average failures per test indicates recurrent mechanical issues rather than one-off problems. Before committing to this model, verify the actual petrol pass-rate data independently, as the statistics presented don't reliably tell you whether petrol Fiestas are genuinely problematic or whether the dataset has an error.

The 2007 Ford Fiesta Zetec Climate passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (84.1%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
