2017 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · BP67 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the MOT history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 89,008 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs on both the nearside and offside. This follows a clean pass in August 2024 at 80,384 miles, suggesting that while the vehicle is being kept roadworthy, components are being addressed only as they approach the end of their service life. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age. The car has covered approximately 89,008 miles over nine years, averaging roughly 9,890 miles annually. The recorded jumps between tests, such as the 9,195 miles between August 2024 and August 2025, show a steady and predictable usage pattern. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate certain types of age-related deterioration like seized calipers or perished seals. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and steering components during a physical inspection. The record shows recurring issues with brake discs, noted in August 2022, August 2023, and most recently in August 2025. This trend implies the discs may be prone to corrosion or heavy wear. The failure in August 2023 due to a missing offside front steering rack gaiter indicates that the steering assembly has required attention to prevent dirt ingress. You should check the condition of all rubber gaiters and boots to ensure they are intact and free from splits. Tyre maintenance also shows signs of neglect, specifically the August 2023 failure where both front tyres were at the legal limit. While the 2024 and 2025 tests do not list tyre advisories, the previous pattern suggests the owner may wait until tyres are near the limit before replacing them. Finally, the August 2022 report noted a slight engine oil leak. Although no subsequent tests have flagged this, a thorough inspection of the engine bay for fresh weeping or residue is necessary to confirm the issue was resolved.
