2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU67 OBE

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and largely unblemished maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 69,851 miles on 19 September 2025. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual assessments without any recorded defects, indicating sound mechanical upkeep. The record contains a notable anomaly, however, showing both a pass and a fail on the exact same day in 2023 and 2025, at the exact same mileage, with zero defects listed for either outcome. This pattern points to a DVSA data entry error or a voided duplicate test rather than a genuine mechanical failure, as no faults were ever identified. The maintenance trajectory remains firmly stable, with no recurring mechanical issues or advisories to suggest neglect. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the recent pattern shows a distinct shift. Between the September 2023 test at 41,059 miles and the September 2024 test at 51,636 miles, the Fiesta covered 10,577 miles over twelve months. This jumped significantly to 18,215 miles over the following year, reaching 69,851 miles by September 2025. This recent spike suggests a transition from lighter, local use to sustained commuting or long-distance driving. Despite this increased usage, the MOT record remains entirely free of wear-related advisories, which implies the owner kept on top of consumable replacements like brake pads and tyres. Given the absence of recorded faults in the official history, a buyer must rely on a thorough physical inspection to verify the car's true condition. Focus on the structural integrity of the undercarriage and suspension components, checking for corrosion on the subframe, coil springs, and brake calipers, which are common deterioration points on high-mileage Fiestas. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or deterioration, and verify the operation of all lighting and steering components. The recent jump in mileage warrants a close look at the clutch operation and gear synchros to ensure the drivetrain has not suffered from the increased workload.
