2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CV66 TYZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repairs regarding suspension components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 57,368 miles passed, it revealed an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This suggests a lapse in basic consumable inspections prior to the test, despite the vehicle having a clean record in the year immediately prior during early 2025. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 38,219 miles in January 2023 to 57,368 miles in January 2026. This low accumulation indicates the car has not been subjected to high-stress motorway driving, which often preserves the engine and drivetrain components. However, the intervals between tests are standard, and there is no evidence of long stationary periods that might lead to degradation of rubber components despite the low mileage. A buyer must focus specifically on the rear suspension and subframe integrity. The history shows a failure in 2025 at 50,693 miles due to an excessively worn nearside rear subframe pin and bush, following advisories for wear on the same components in 2024. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent retest, the recurring mention of subframe-related wear indicates a potential for corrosion or fatigue in the mounting points. The offside rear shock absorber was noted for oil misting in 2024 and 2025, which should be inspected for active leaks that could indicate imminent seal failure. The uneven wear on the nearside front tyre also points to a potential issue with wheel geometry or worn suspension bushings that require physical verification.
