2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · 594 BJF

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 84,489 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 1 August 2024 at 78,443 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the five-year record. Recorded mileage sits at a typical 9,388 miles per year for a nine-year-old car. The tester logged 67,445 miles in August 2022, 73,638 in August 2023, 78,443 in July and August 2024, and 84,489 in August 2025. Annual accumulation holds steady near 5,000 to 6,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The sole anomaly is the 31 July 2024 failure at 78,443 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass one day later on 1 August 2024 at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or presentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. The MOT history raises no recurring suspension, brake, corrosion, or emissions concerns across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, brake disc thickness, and underbody structural integrity, as the DVSA record does not capture wear below test thresholds. The clean advisories suggest previous owners kept consumables and structural items within limits, but undocumented intermittent faults cannot be ruled out from paper data alone. Given the sparse but clean record, pre-purchase checks should target tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust integrity for consumable wear. The 24-hour fail-pass cycle in July 2024 warrants a request for the original test station paperwork to confirm no suppressed defect. No serious structural or mechanical risk is evidenced by the official entries to date.
