2017 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · GK17 ACZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-03-07 at 106,009 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. Previous tests from 2023-03-09, 2022-03-15, and 2021-03-11 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent adherence to roadworthiness standards. However, a failed test on the same date (2021-03-11) at 87,793 miles is listed without recorded defects, raising questions about the accuracy of that entry. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests implies no escalating issues, but the 2021 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a procedural error or an unrecorded concern. The mileage progression shows a steady increase from 87,793 miles in 2021 to 106,009 miles in 2024, averaging approximately 6,000 miles annually over that period. This suggests the vehicle has not been heavily used in recent years, though the 2021-03-11 test’s duplicate mileage for both pass and fail entries is inconsistent. The lack of significant mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. However, the 2021 failure—despite no defects—may indicate a testing anomaly, which could affect confidence in the record’s reliability. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components are prone to wear in older vehicles. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT history is positive, but the 2021 failure’s unresolved nature means verifying the vehicle’s service history for potential unresolved faults. Checking for brake fluid leaks, suspension bush wear, and exhaust system integrity would provide clarity on the car’s mechanical condition. While the MOT record shows no critical defects, the 2021 anomaly underscores the importance of a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
