2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CX67 BHW

This Ford Fiesta has maintained an exemplary MOT record over the past four years, with every test—including the most recent in May 2025 at 19,441 miles—passing without any defects or advisories. The stability of this history suggests the vehicle has been consistently well-maintained, with no signs of recurring mechanical issues or deferred repairs. The absence of even minor advisories across five consecutive tests (spanning 2021 to 2025) is particularly noteworthy, as it indicates no neglect in critical areas such as brakes, suspension, or structural integrity. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, such a clean record is rare and implies either meticulous ownership or a model known for reliability in these components. The mileage progression reveals a distinctly low-usage pattern, with just 19,441 miles accumulated over nine years—an average of roughly 2,160 miles annually. This is well below the UK average for a car of this age, particularly when considering the gap between the 2021 test (7,222 miles) and the 2022 test (8,139 miles), where only 917 miles were added over a full year. The subsequent tests show similarly modest increases, with 2,130 miles between May 2022 and May 2023, and 6,182 miles between May 2023 and May 2025. Such low mileage could reflect occasional use, long periods of storage, or even odometer discrepancies, though the consistency of the MOT history supports the former. Buyers should verify whether the vehicle has been driven regularly or stored, as prolonged inactivity can lead to issues like seized bearings, degraded seals, or flat-spotted tyres—none of which would necessarily appear on an MOT but could emerge post-purchase. Given the absence of any historical defects, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on areas prone to silent degradation despite low mileage. Pay particular attention to the suspension components, including coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings, as these can weaken over time even with minimal use. Check for any signs of corrosion or fatigue in the subframe, exhaust mounts, or wheel arches, especially if the car has spent extended periods in damp or salty conditions. While the brakes have never been flagged, inspect the calipers, pads, and discs for uneven wear or binding, as low-mileage vehicles can still develop stiffness in hydraulic systems. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres beyond tread depth—look for cracks, dry rot, or uneven wear, as these can indicate age-related deterioration rather than mileage-related stress. The clean MOT history is a strong indicator of care, but these targeted checks will confirm whether the Fiesta’s low-mileage advantage translates to long-term reliability.
