2017 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · DN67 VMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its test in October 2025 at 40,594 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior involving multiple critical defects. The recurring nature of tyre-related failures across several years suggests that essential components are often only addressed when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than being serviced during routine maintenance. The mileage profile is significantly low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a consistent history of low usage, moving from 22,726 miles in October 2022 to 40,594 miles in 2025. However, the low mileage appears to correlate with the age of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the persistent reports of perishing and cracking on tyres that have remained on the vehicle despite the low distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the record has repeatedly flagged them for tread depth issues, uneven wear, and structural damage such as cracking or perishing. The recent advisory regarding a corroded offside rear coil spring indicates that the suspension is beginning to show signs of age, which should be monitored for further structural degradation. Additionally, the repeated failure of the windscreen washer system across multiple tests should be noted, suggesting a lack of attention to basic functional items.
