AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 42,386 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Mileage sits low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 26,570 miles in August 2022, rising to 31,445 by August 2023, 36,501 by August 2024, and 42,386 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 4,700 miles per year, indicating light use with no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse but entirely clean, with only a failed test on 15 August 2023 carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass the same day at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low annual use, as prolonged standing can accelerate perishing of rubber components and surface corrosion unseen by the MOT lane. No advisories for exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or binding calipers appear in the history, so serious mechanical risk is not indicated by the record. Previous owners appear to have maintained the vehicle to a basic but sufficient standard, with no skipped tests and no recurring wear items flagged. The clean trail implies conscientious albeit minimal yearly coverage rather than deferred upkeep.
