2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YK66 ABT

The 2017 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-10-30 at 65,548 miles. The vehicle has maintained compliance over the past three years, with all tests passing except a single failed inspection on 2023-10-24, which inexplicably listed no defects. This anomaly suggests either a data entry error or a technical oversight, but the absence of recurring issues in subsequent tests indicates no systemic mechanical failure. The lack of advisories or critical faults in the latest report implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the 2023-10-24 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm resolution. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s age, averaging 7,283 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 2,390-mile increase between the 2023-06-26 test (46,831 miles) and the 2023-10-24 test (49,221 miles), followed by a 1,399-mile jump to 49,222 miles by 2023-11-01. These intervals suggest irregular usage patterns, potentially reflecting periods of reduced activity or short-term heavy use. The 2024-10-21 test at 58,636 miles marked a significant 9,414-mile increase over 11 months, exceeding the average, which could accelerate wear on components like brakes, tyres, and suspension. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as sudden mileage spikes may stress these parts. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a visual check of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear is advised. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly under the chassis, to rule out hidden rust or damage. While the MOT history shows no major issues, the 2023-10-24 failure without recorded defects warrants confirmation that the vehicle was fully repaired and retested to meet safety standards.
