2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DU17 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT test on 27 February 2026 at 117,486 miles. Although the car failed exactly one day prior with no recorded defects, this anomalous entry likely represents an administrative error or a minor technicality that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2023, the car has consistently passed inspections without advisories, indicating that the primary safety and emissions components have met minimum standards during testing. The mileage history reflects high usage for a nine-year-old Ford, averaging 13,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent accumulation, with the vehicle covering roughly 17,000 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 34,000 miles in the year leading up to early 2026. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has been used for motorway commuting, which often results in less clutch wear than city driving but places significant mileage stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Given the high mileage, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas that typically manifest beyond six-figure intervals. While the MOT record is clean, it does not account for the condition of shock absorbers, the integrity of rubber suspension components, or the thickness of brake discs. Inspect the underbody for any signs of accelerated corrosion and check the exhaust system for leaks, as the high annual mileage naturally accelerates the degradation of these parts regardless of a passing test test result.
