2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MO16 ANJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in June 2026 passed with only a minor defect regarding a nearside rear reflector, the previous year in 2025 revealed multiple critical failures across suspension, lighting, and fluid systems. This suggests that while the car is capable of passing, faults are often addressed only when they trigger an inspection failure. The mileage profile is significantly low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,132 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent across the records, moving from 24,234 miles in May 2023 to 37,190 miles in June 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the drying of seals, which may be consistent with the fractured coil springs noted in the service history. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension, as both rear coil springs were noted as fractured in 2025. Although these were replaced, the buyer should check for signs of stress or alignment issues. Furthermore, the history shows recurring issues with tyre wear, with front tyres reaching the legal limit in 2024 and offside rear tyres showing inner edge wear in 2025. This indicates a potential alignment fault that requires professional adjustment to prevent premature replacement. The braking system also requires attention, as offside front pads were flagged as wearing thin in May 2024. The buyer should verify the remaining life of all pads and inspect the discs for scoring or thinning. Given the failure of the windscreen washer and stop lamps in 2025, a functional check of all electrical and fluid systems is necessary to ensure the vehicle meets basic operational standards without immediate further investment.
