2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BD67 PWN

A pattern of minor, non-mechanical failures defines the recent MOT history for this Ford Fiesta, with the most recent test on 29 October 2025 showing a pass after an initial failure regarding a non-functional nearside dipped beam headlamp. The record indicates a stable trend of roadworthiness, as the failures recorded in 2024 and 2025 were limited to peripheral items—specifically a windscreen washer deficiency and a lighting fault—rather than structural, braking, or suspension components. There are no recorded advisories for corrosion, leaks, or wear across the three years of testing provided, suggesting that the primary components subject to MOT scrutiny have met the required standards without noted deterioration. The vehicle has covered 69,068 miles over its nine-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,674 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical UK private motoring, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-frequency wear associated with heavy commercial use, nor has it likely sat stationary for extended periods which can lead to seized components. From a mechanical standpoint, this moderate mileage suggests that while consumable items like brake pads, discs, and tyres will require regular inspection, the drivetrain and major suspension assemblies have not been subjected to extreme mileage-based stress. Given that the recent failures were isolated to electrical and fluid delivery systems, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on these specific areas to ensure the faults were rectified correctly. Verify that the nearside headlamp functions across all settings, including dipped and main beam, and check that the windscreen washer system operates with sufficient pressure and provides a clear spray pattern across the glass. While no mechanical defects were flagged, the lack of recorded advisories for suspension or braking components means a test drive should still be used to listen for any unexpected knocks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, and to feel for any pedal judder or pulling that might indicate uneven brake wear or alignment issues. The absence of recorded structural corrosion or oil misting in the MOT history is a positive indicator for the vehicle's current state of presentation, but it does not substitute for a thorough visual inspection of the underbody. Pay close attention to the condition of the brake pipes and exhaust system for any signs of surface rust that may not have yet reached the threshold of an advisory. Ensuring the vehicle drives straight under light braking and remains silent over uneven road surfaces will help confirm that the mechanical integrity matches the relatively clean regulatory record.
