2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DU17 HGD

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 68,142 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a period of three consecutive clean passes dating back to early 2024, indicating that once the initial failure in early 2023 was rectified, the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical compliance without recurring structural issues. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between January 2025 and January 2026, the car covered 6,152 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than erratic bursts of long driving. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that suggest periods of neglect, which is crucial for preventing the degradation of rubber components and fluid integrity. The low relative mileage suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to the heavy wear associated with high-mileage commuting. While the digital record is remarkably clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to the Fiesta model of this age. Since the record lacks advisories for suspension bushes or corrosion, a manual check of the front wishbones and subframe for early-stage rust remains prudent. The brakes should also be inspected for signs of binding or uneven pad wear, as the MOT does not always capture minor hydraulic issues until they reach a failure threshold.
