2017 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · CX17 XDA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 85,791 miles which returned with no defects. This clean result indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed or have not progressed. The maintenance trend appears improving, moving from minor structural advisories and tyre damage to a perfect score sheet in the latest inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between July 2020 and February 2022 due to the COVID-19 extension, but the usage thereafter has remained steady. Since the 2022 test, the car has covered roughly 13,000 miles, suggesting a predictable rate of use that avoids the excessive wear associated with high-mileage while preventing the degradation often seen with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear subframe area during a physical viewing. The February 2025 test at 79,009 miles flagged worn nearside and offside rear sub-frame pins or bushes. While these did not cause a failure at the time, they represent a known point of wear on the suspension geometry. Ensuring that there is no excessive play or visible corrosion around these mounting points is essential to confirm the components were properly replaced or are not deteriorating further.
