2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BC17 DPX

The Ford Fiesta is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance history showing consistent MOT passes over the past four years. The most recent test on 2026-03-12 confirmed the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards with no defects recorded, indicating that the car has been well maintained and is in good mechanical condition at this time. The vehicle's mileage of 51,296 miles at age nine years reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,700 miles per year. This suggests gentle use or periods of limited driving, which may reduce wear on components like the engine, transmission, and suspension. The MOT records show regular testing with no significant gaps—each annual test was completed within the required 12-month window—and the mileage increases are steady and gradual, with no sudden spikes that might indicate neglect or misuse. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on components that are prone to wear over time despite low mileage. Pay close attention to the suspension system, particularly the condition of bushes and coil springs, which can degrade even without high mileage. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of corrosion or binding, as these may have been overlooked during MOTs. Also examine the exhaust system for rust and check the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for hidden corrosion, which can be a concern in older vehicles regardless of mileage.
