2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DC17 XFP

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2026-03-22 at 81,806 miles. The maintenance trend reads stable with no advisories or defects logged across the recent record. A notable quirk appears in the test sequence: the car failed on 2026-03-18 at identical mileage before passing four days later with no defects recorded, and a similar fail-pass pair occurred in September 2024 at 74,445 then 74,472 miles. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical faults, as no defects were cited on any failure. Odometer readings show typical use for a nine-year-old car. The record logs 74,472 miles in September 2024, 81,625 by October 2025, and 81,806 by March 2026. Annual distance sits near 9,090 miles, though the final six months added only 181 miles, implying the vehicle stood largely idle before sale. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps distort the history. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not measure in depth. Check tyre tread depth, brake disc wear, and suspension bushes for age-related perishing. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries warrant confirmation that both 2024 and 2026 tests used the same VRM and no omitted minor advisory hides behind the system. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions show no concern in the data. The clean run from 2024 to 2026 indicates previous owners kept the car to test standard, but the zero-advisory record across all passes means a independent check of corrosion on sills and subframes remains sensible before purchase.
