2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV17 UMC

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2025-05-24 at 49,053 miles. The DVSA record shows no defects, advisories, or recurrent mechanical faults across the valid history, indicating the vehicle has met statutory standards at every successful examination. The maintenance trajectory is resolving rather than worsening, with no escalating corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects logged by testers. Annual mileage sits low for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 23,689 miles on 2022-05-03, rising to 23,707 miles at the pass four days later on 2022-05-07, then 26,417 miles in May 2023, 34,483 miles in May 2024, and 49,053 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 5,450 miles per year against the age. The jump from 34,483 to 49,053 miles between May 2024 and May 2025 is the largest single-year gain, suggesting a period of standing followed by heavier use rather than steady commuting. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of skipped consumable replacement or neglected structural care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low dormant mileage and the 14,500-mile accumulation in the last twelve months. Long standing invites seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and underbody corrosion the MOT may not have flagged as fail items. The May 2022 failure with no defects recorded points to a documentation or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, but confirm the VIN and test certificate alignment before purchase. No recurring advisories on exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or drivetrain appear in the history. The previous keeper appears to have maintained statutory compliance, though the low annual use means age-related perishing of hoses and tyres warrants hands-on checks the paper record cannot capture.
