2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AF17 NSJ

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 4 March 2026 at 51,049 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failure logged at 44,142 miles on 25 February 2025 was cleared, yet no defects were listed against either the 2026 failure or the prior 2025 failure, which suggests administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or defects appear on any test from the 19 February 2024 pass at 36,490 miles through to the latest examination. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2017 registration, rising from 36,490 miles in February 2024 to 44,142 miles in February 2025 and 51,049 miles by March 2026, an average of roughly 5,600 miles per year. The gaps between tests are annual and consistent, with no rapid accumulation or suspicious jumps. The clean record with zero advisories across three years implies the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance, though the twin failure entries with no defects on both 25 February 2025 and 4 March 2026 point to clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than deferred consumable care. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given that low-mileage cars left standing can develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion unseen by a pass with no advisories. The absence of flagged exhaust emissions or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, but nine years of age warrants checking underneath for rust on sills and subframes. Verify the reason for the two failure entries with no defects, as the DVSA record offers no explanation for those results.
