2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU67 OAC

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a clean bill of health through its entire MOT history, with the most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 23,901 miles passing with zero defects. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong. No advisories or failures have ever been recorded across five consecutive annual tests, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order throughout its life. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light, steady use. Between the December 2021 test at 13,620 miles and the September 2025 test at 23,901 miles, the car covered 10,281 miles over nearly four years, averaging roughly 2,570 miles annually. The increments between tests are remarkably consistent: 1,320 miles in the final year, 2,686 miles in the prior year, 3,121 miles the year before that, and 3,121 miles between 2021 and 2022. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. This is a low-mileage vehicle by any standard for its age. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The absence of any flagged defects is encouraging, but MOT tests only capture a snapshot on the day of examination. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for perishing, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines, particularly given the car's age. Examine the exhaust system for leaks or deterioration, and test the brake system for uneven wear or binding that may not have been present during the last test. A short road test remains essential. Listen for knocks or clunks from the front suspension over speed bumps, which could indicate worn drop links or anti-roll bar bushes not yet severe enough to fail an MOT. Check that the clutch bite point is normal and that the gearbox shifts cleanly across all gears. The clean record suggests attentive previous ownership, but age-related deterioration can develop quickly, and a personal inspection will confirm whether that care has continued up to the present day.
