2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AP15 ABY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 July 2025 at 103,102 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids mechanical failure during the testing process. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 63,574 miles and July 2025 at 103,102 miles, the car covered nearly 40,000 miles, representing a steady and predictable pattern of use. The single failure recorded on 28 July 2023 at 79,933 miles appears to be an isolated incident, as the vehicle passed the retest on the same day, suggesting a minor fault was addressed promptly without leaving a trail of recurring issues. Despite the clean MOT record in the recent years, a buyer should focus on high-mileage components that the MOT does not test comprehensively. At over 100,000 miles, inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to identify signs of wear or fluid leaks. The buyer should also check the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the rubber hoses, as the MOT only checks for dangerous play or obvious failure rather than overall remaining life of these components.
