2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BW63 MEG

The 2017 Ford Fiesta currently holds a valid roadworthiness status based on the most recent DVSA test on 13 January 2026 at 40,195 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults across the sequence of examinations. On 6 January 2025 at 31,926 miles the record lists both a failure and a pass on the same day, each declaring no defects; this anomaly reflects administrative duplication rather than a worsening condition. Mileage progression remains low for a vehicle of this age. The 2022-10-10 test logged 16,476 miles, rising to 22,942 miles by 2024-01-04, then 31,926 miles on 2025-01-06, and finally 40,195 miles in January 2026. Annual averages sit near 4,466 miles, indicating light use or extended periods off the road. The gap between October 2022 and January 2024 leaves a fourteen-month void with no formal inspection data, though subsequent clean passes imply prior keepers attended to required standards. The unexplained failure entry without recorded defects suggests either a clerical error or a non-mechanical rejection, not skipped basic upkeep. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of components prone to degradation from low mileage and age. Suspension bushes may harden or crack from infrequent movement, while brake discs and calipers can seize if the car stood unused. The tester flagged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but underside checks for rust on subframes and coil springs remain sensible. Tyres may exhibit sidewall ageing despite adequate tread, and exhaust emissions should be verified against current limits even though prior tests reported clear.
