2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE10 BEE

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance history, though the most recent MOT results indicate a shift toward consumable wear. While the car passed its January 2026 test at 37,958 miles, the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a pattern of minor component degradation rather than serious mechanical or structural failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2017 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,218 miles per year. The records show consistent, incremental usage, moving from 21,857 miles in December 2021 to 37,958 miles in January 2026. This low-intensity usage pattern suggests the vehicle has likely seen light urban use or has spent significant periods stationary. The absence of defects in the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates a period of high mechanical stability before the recent advisories appeared. A prospective buyer should focus on the immediate replacement of the front tyres to ensure compliance and safety. The January 2025 test at 34,290 miles noted thinning front brake pads, which suggests that while the brakes were sufficient at that time, they are approaching the end of their service life alongside the tyres. Given the low annual mileage, I recommend a physical inspection of the braking system for any signs of surface corrosion on the discs, which can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. Beyond these consumables, the MOT history shows no previous issues with suspension, steering, or structural integrity. The lack of recorded advisories for several years suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but the recent appearance of tyre and brake wear marks a transition into a phase where routine maintenance of wear items will be more frequent.
