2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AP66 FCF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to reactive maintenance. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 46,479 miles resulted in a pass, it introduced multiple advisories regarding the front braking system. This marks a departure from the three previous years of clean de-fect reports, indicating that certain components are now reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,164 miles annually. There is a notable gap in records between August 2022 and April 2024, where the car covered only 13,157 miles over two years. However, usage has increased significantly recently, with 18,233 miles clocked between April 2024 and April 2026. This low-mileage often leads to corrosion on metal surfaces that remain infrequently used, which aligns with the current state of the front brake discs. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking assembly. The April 2026 test flagged pitting and scoring on both front discs alongside thin pads, which suggests the rotors have suffered from surface rust during periods of low use. The deteriorated rear registration plate also needs replacement to ensure legibility meets DVSA standards. Furthermore, given the 2022 advisory regarding uneven front tyre wear, the buyer should verify the wheel alignment and suspension bushings to ensure no underlying mechanical issues are causing premature tyre degradation.
