2017 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · AX66 OWK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass on January 19 2026 at 70,284 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the mechanical failures identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs, the most recent test result suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying defects before they lead to a total test failure. At nine years old with 70,284 miles recorded, the Fiesta averages approximately 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a smaller hatchback. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, with roughly 5,300 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 7,600 miles covered since the last test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and fluid systems. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the rear suspension due to recurring issues in this area. The record from February 2024 flagged a fractured nearside coil spring, while the February 2025 test identified worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes on both sides. Although these were corrected, the repetitive nature of these faults suggests the buyer should check for any further play in the bushings or uneven tyre wear during a test drive. Headlamp alignment should also be verified, as previous failures for incorrect aim and a failed dipped beam indicate the lighting assemblies may be sensitive to adjustment or vibration.
