2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DF67 AEY

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 37,106 miles passed with no mechanical failures, although the tester noted that a nearside rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult belt. This follows a four-year trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its structural and mechanical integrity without intervention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,123 miles per year. Between September 2022 and April 2026, the car covered 14,069 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern of roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles annually. This low-frequency use suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components, engine internals, and suspension bushings typically associated with high-frequency motorway or city driving. The lack of defects across these intervals implies the previous owners prioritized preventative maintenance or that the vehicle remained stationary for significant periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Because the car has spent time stationary, rubber elements such as sidewalls, suspension boots, and wiper blades may show signs of cracking despite low tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from oxidation on the rotors. While the MOT record shows no structural rust, a manual check of the chassis remains advisable to ensure that the low mileage has not masked hidden corrosion in the mounting points.
