2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DF17 YFU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of neglected consumable items. While the most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 32,274 miles resulted in a pass, both rear tyres were flagged for reaching the legal limit with edge wear. This mirrors a trend seen in the previous three years, indicating that the owner tends to replace tyres only when they reach the point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 32,274 miles over nine years, this Fiesta has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 4,300 miles driven between the September 2024 and 2025 tests, and 4,700 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low-use profile suggests less mechanical strain on the engine and gearbox, but the long intervals between tests and use can cause rubber-based components to perish or brake components to degrade due to age rather than distance travelled. A buyer should specifically inspect the wheel alignment and suspension, as the recurring edge wear on multiple tyres across the 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests suggests a persistent geometry issue or worn bushes. The 2021 record also noted worn rear axle swivel pins and a misting offside front shock absorber; while these did not cause failures in later tests, they should be visually checked for further leaks or excessive play. Given the low mileage, also examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently affects vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
