Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with five consecutive MOT tests completed without a single defect or advisory recorded. This stability is evidenced by the most recent clean pass on 16 March 2026, indicating that the vehicle has met the minimum legal safety and environmental standards without requiring corrective work for several years. The recorded mileage of 40,597 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,511 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has experienced significantly less mechanical wear on primary drivetrain components and suspension linkages than a typical example of this model. This usage profile indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-stress cycles associated with long-distance commuting or heavy urban use. Since the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there are no specific recurring failures or structural concerns, such as subframe corrosion or suspension bush degradation, to target during a physical inspection. The absence of flagged items across five years of testing provides a clean baseline for the vehicle's structural and mechanical integrity as measured by DVSA standards. During a test drive, focus on confirming the absence of subtle mechanical symptoms that may not trigger an MOT failure, such as slight steering pull or pedal judder during braking. Checking for any unusual knocks over bumps or vibrations through the chassis will help verify the current condition of the low-mileage components.

Our Verdict

This 2017 Ford Fiesta is a strong candid

When inspecting this 1.0L petrol Fiesta, verify the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as the MOT only confirms the car met minimum legal standards at the time of testing. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still check for common Ford Fiesta issues such as wear on the brake pads and tyres, which are not always flagged as failures unless they fall below legal limits.

Negotiate based on the fact that the mileage is relatively low for a 2017 vehicle. Ensure the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump are checked, as these are critical maintenance items for the 998cc EcoBoost engines, typically required around the 10-year mark or specific mileage intervals.

The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for urban driving and helping to keep fuel costs manageable. As a 2017 model, it likely falls into a relatively low insurance group, though you should obtain a specific quote based on your profile.

Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.

Although this vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for Ford Fiestas indicates that headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs are frequent failure points. During your inspection, check that all headlamp beams are aligned and clear, and listen for any knocks or rattles from the suspension that might indicate worn coil springs.

Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or loose mounting points. Even though this car has passed all tests, these are the areas where the model is statistically most likely to encounter issues.

This red 2017 Ford Fiesta (B1HMS) has covered 40,597 miles as of its most recent MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has maintained a consistent record of passing its MOT tests without a single recorded defect or failure since its first test in 2022. Given the model's aggregate data shows a 77.7% pass rate, this specific car's record of zero defects is notable.

The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across the 1.5 million vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to lighting, exhaust components, and suspension springs.
