2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AV17 FYC

This 2017 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-09 confirms a clean pass with no defects, maintaining a consistent pattern of compliance over the past three annual tests. The absence of advisories or recurring failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any major mechanical or structural issues during this period. However, the duplicate entry for 2024-02-06—one pass and one fail—indicates either an administrative error or a brief lapse in test scheduling, though the subsequent pass in February 2025 resolves any ambiguity. The recorded mileage of 41,469 miles over nine years equates to an average of approximately 4,608 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests the car has either been lightly used or stored for extended periods, which could mitigate some wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, drivetrain fluids, or brake pads. The gap between tests remains standard, with no irregularities in scheduling that would imply neglect, though the low mileage does not account for potential deferred maintenance where components might have been overlooked due to infrequent use. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—due to their susceptibility to wear over time, even at lower mileages. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant close examination for uneven pad wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on discs, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on wheel arches, sills, and underbody for corrosion, as rust can develop even in low-mileage cars exposed to harsh conditions. Finally, fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should be checked, as they degrade over time regardless of mileage.
