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 exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-08-12 at 78,854 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since this date, and with today’s date of 2026-07-15, it is now over 11 months past its last valid test. The prior tests from 2024 and 2023 also showed no defects, indicating consistent compliance with safety standards. While the absence of recorded issues suggests reliable maintenance, the lack of recent data raises concerns about the car’s current condition. The mileage of 78,854 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,762 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The MOT records show consistent intervals of approximately 12 months between tests, with mileage increments of 11,315 and 13,675 miles between 2023 and 2025. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation of miles are evident, suggesting steady, moderate use. The absence of defects across all recorded tests implies that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though this does not account for potential issues not flagged during MOTs. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components are critical for long-term reliability. While no specific faults were recorded, the repeated MOTs without defects may indicate minimal wear on consumables like tyres or wiper blades, but not structural or mechanical risks. The vehicle’s age and mileage warrant scrutiny of corrosion, particularly in the underbody, and verification of the MOT’s current validity. A pre-purchase check by a qualified mechanic is advised to confirm the car’s operational integrity beyond the recorded data.

Our Verdict

A fair example of a 2017 Ford Fiesta, th

Given the history of brake pad and disc failures in 2025 and 2026, you should verify exactly when the braking system was last overhauled. Ensure that the recent repairs were comprehensive rather than minimal fixes to pass the test. Check the service history for regular oil and filter changes, as the 1.0L engine is sensitive to maintenance intervals.

Negotiate based on the high mileage, which is significantly above the average for this model. Ensure that all tyres have been replaced following the extensive failures recorded in July 2026, as the record noted cuts, cracking, and nails in the rear tyres.

The 998cc engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low road tax and a competitive insurance group. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a petrol city car of this era.

Annual running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's higher mileage. You should budget for more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items, such as tyres and brake components, which have been recurring issues for this specific vehicle.

Carefully inspect all four tyres; the July 2026 MOT failure specifically noted cuts, cracking, and nails in the rear tyres. Verify that these have been replaced with quality rubber. Check the operation of the headlamp levelling device and all indicator bulbs, as these were specific failure points in the recent history.

Additionally, check the suspension for any signs of wear or noise. While not flagged on this specific car yet, aggregate data shows that coil springs are a top failure reason for Fiestas, and at 86,185 miles, they are more likely to be worn.

This grey 998cc petrol Fiesta has covered 86,185 miles, which is notably above the model's average annual mileage of 5,779. The MOT history shows a series of failures in 2025 and 2026, primarily concerning brake wear, tyre condition, and lighting. However, the vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 5 August 2026 with no defects recorded.

The Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failures typically involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
