2017 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · AP17 VTY

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a clean MOT record with no defects recorded across any of its five recorded tests. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 100,574 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that point. The maintenance trend appears stable rather than worsening, though the record contains an unusual pattern worth noting. Two separate test dates show a failed result immediately followed by a pass on the same day with no defects recorded in either instance, which typically indicates the initial test was abandoned or voided rather than the car failing on mechanical grounds. This pattern occurred on both 12 August 2025 and 24 August 2024, suggesting administrative anomalies rather than genuine mechanical rejection. The mileage accumulation pattern is broadly consistent with typical use at approximately 11,175 miles per year over nine years. However, the jump from 85,685 miles in August 2024 to 100,574 miles by August 2025 represents roughly 14,900 miles in a single year, which is notably higher than the vehicle's long-term average. This could indicate a change in usage pattern, such as a new owner using the car for regular commuting or longer journeys. The record is otherwise sparse, with only three distinct test dates spanning three years, but the data shows no recurring mechanical faults or progressive deterioration. With no structural corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust issues flagged in the MOT history, the vehicle's documented condition is sound. A buyer should still inspect the physical state of consumable components in person, particularly the tyre condition and tread depth given the higher recent mileage accumulation. The coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs and pads deserve close visual examination as these are common wear items on the Fiesta platform at this mileage that may not always trigger an MOT advisory until significantly worn. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion, particularly around joints and mounting points, as the car approaches ten years of age. The absence of any recorded advisories is encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given the mileage and the unusual failed-then-passed test pattern that warrants clarification from the seller.
