2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · J97 ADE

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 81,644 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in January 2025 and January 2024 also closed as passes with no advisories, so the recorded history shows no worsening mechanical faults across the last three years. Recorded mileage sits at 81,644 against a nine-year lifespan, an average of roughly 9,072 miles per year and typical for the model age. The DVSA log shows 60,539 miles on 24 January 2024, 68,316 on 17 January 2025, and 81,644 on 21 January 2026. Annual accumulation ran near 8,000 then jumped to over 13,000 in the final year, but the step is moderate and the record carries no gaps or dormant periods. The clean pass sheets at each date imply previous keepers addressed consumables before test rather than letting minor wear flag as advisories. The history flags no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, caliper, or corrosion issues across the three examinations. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, as MOT passes with zero defects do not certify absence of early-stage corrosion. Verify the brake friction material and fluid condition, and confirm the tyre tread depths match the clean advisory record. Given the two failed entries on 17 January 2025 and 24 January 2024 were followed by immediate passes at identical mileages with no defects listed, the failures likely concerned administrative or presentational matters rather than mechanical defect. The vehicle's upkeep pattern reads as compliant with test requirements, though in-person checks on drivetrain and exhaust emissions remain prudent before purchase.
