2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DN17 CGV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT test on 7 April 2025 at 77,640 miles. While the record shows immediate failures preceding passes in two consecutive years, the subsequent passes with no recorded defects suggest that the owner addresses identified faults prior to re-testing. The trend indicates a reactive maintenance style rather than a preventative one, but the vehicle has maintained a clean mechanical and structural record over the last three testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between April 2023 at 60,408 miles and March 2024 at 69,635 miles, the car covered roughly 9,000 miles, followed by another 8,000 miles recorded between the March 2024 and April 2025 tests. This regularity of use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of seals and prevents the corrosion of brake components often associated with low mileage. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and brake assembly, as these are the areas most likely to trigger the immediate failures seen in the history. Given the pattern of failing and then passing, a close look at the control arm bushes for signs of cracking and the brake calipers for binding conditions is advisable. Although the MOT record shows no structural rust advisories, a visual check of the sills and rear mounting points remains necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing beneath the paintwork.
