2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AV02 DAG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 51,200 miles, this followed a significant failure due to structural tyre defects. The trend indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they trigger an MOT failure, as evidenced by the recurring failures regarding consumable items across the last two years. At nine years old with 51,200 miles, this Fiesta has covered significantly less than the national average, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent annually, with roughly 8,600 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024, and approximately 5,400 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This low usage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the risk of rubber degradation and fluid breakdown if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the 2025 failure highlighted both perishing on the rear axle and a structural bulge on the nearside front. The previous failure for low tread depth at 45,803 miles suggests that tyres are often run to the legal limit before replacement. You should also verify the headlamp alignment adjustment and check the side repeater functions, as these were noted defects in 2024. No structural corrosion or brake binding issues have been flagged yet, but the focus on basic consumables suggests a thorough check of the suspension bushes and brake disc condition is necessary to ensure no hidden neglect exists.
