2017 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · CV17 ONT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 12 May 2025 at 80,039 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate rectification following test failures. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the MOT just days prior to successfully passing, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed faults when mandated by law rather than through a proactive maintenance schedule. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the June 2023 test at 55,133 miles and the May 2024 test at 66,063 miles, the car covered 10,930 miles, while the subsequent year saw 13,976 miles leading to the 2025 inspection. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which generally helps prevent internal corrosion and component degradation associated with long periods of sitting. While the recent pass shows no outstanding advisories, a buyer must investigate the specific components that caused the failures in May 2024 and May 2025. Since the provided data does not list the specific defects for those failures, a physical inspection should focus on common Fiesta wear points such as rear suspension bushes, leaking shock, and exhaust corrosion. Given the age and mileage, checking the integrity of the chassis and the condition of the brake lines is essential, as these areas frequently require attention on 2017 models reaching this mileage bracket.
