2017 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.2L Petrol · CU66 MYM

A consistent lack of advisories defines this vehicle's roadworthiness record, culminating in a clean pass on 16 November 2023. Although a failure was recorded on 25 August 2022, the absence of listed defects in the data and a subsequent pass on 31 August 2022 suggests a swift resolution of the issue. The overall trajectory of the vehicle's testing history is stable, with no recurring mechanical faults or deteriorating components noted by the inspectors. The recorded mileage of 42,297 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 4,700 miles. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly or has undergone periods of inactivity. From a mechanical perspective, while this results in less wear on the engine and gearbox, it can lead to different issues such as the degradation of rubber components or the onset of brake caliper binding. Because the MOT history contains no specific advisories, the inspection should focus on the general mechanical integrity of the Fiesta chassis. During a test drive, listen for knocks or pops from the front suspension bushes and steering linkages when turning the wheel at low speeds or driving over speed bumps. The brake pedal should be checked for a firm response without judder, and the vehicle must track straight under braking to ensure no calipers are sticking. A visual inspection of the underbody is recommended to check for surface corrosion on the subframe and suspension mounting points, as these are critical areas for structural integrity. Ensure the engine operates smoothly across the rev range and that there are no audible squeaks from the auxiliary drive belt. The absence of recorded defects in the DVSA history means the primary objective is to confirm that the low mileage has not masked any dormant deterioration of the consumables.
