FORD FIESTA2017 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 51,704 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2024 and 2023 also closed as passes with no advisories, though both those years opened with a fail on the same date as the pass (28 November 2024 at 44,831 miles, 29 November 2023 at 39,093 miles) before immediate re-test clearance. The absence of any listed defects on those failure entries suggests administrative or non-mechanical causes rather than outstanding wear, and the overall pattern shows no worsening condition across the three-year window. Recorded mileage sits at 51,704 against a nine-year age, averaging roughly 5,745 miles per year and marking this as a low-use vehicle. The jump from 39,093 miles in November 2023 to 44,831 in November 2024 added only 5,738 miles, then 6,873 miles to the October 2025 figure. Such low annual accumulation implies lighter urban or intermittent use, with possible extended standing periods that can age rubber components and brake surfaces despite low wear to drivetrain parts. The DVSA history is sparse and clean beyond the curious same-day fail-pass pairs, giving no consumable or structural flags to interrogate. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely stationary intervals that accelerate corrosion and caliper binding. The tester logged no advisories on exhaust emissions or structural integrity, yet nine years of service without documented wear items means tyres, wiper blades, and underbody rust protection warrant physical verification. The repeated same-day failures without recorded defects point to previous owner process slips rather than mechanical neglect, but confirm with the selling garage what triggered those 2023 and 2024 rejection entries before purchase.
