2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EK17 LUY

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness record over the past three years, with the most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 72,902 miles showing no defects—a positive indicator of consistent upkeep. The trend remains clean, with no advisories or failures since the August 2025 test at 71,828 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been well maintained in its later years. The only historical advisories—rear sub-frame bush wear in July 2023 and a nearside front tyre at legal limits in July 2022—were addressed or resolved, with no recurrence in subsequent tests. This absence of repeat issues implies either prompt repairs or inherent robustness in these areas. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for its age, averaging around 8,100 miles annually over the past nine years. The gap between the July 2023 test (58,596 miles) and the August 2024 test (66,005 miles) suggests a roughly 7,500-mile interval, which is reasonable for a private vehicle. There’s no evidence of rapid mileage buildup or prolonged inactivity, though the 2022–2023 period shows a steady but unremarkable pace. The most recent 1,074-mile span between tests (August 2025 to November 2025) reflects either seasonal use or a deliberate approach to testing frequency. For a prospective buyer, the rear sub-frame bush advisory in July 2023 warrants closer inspection, particularly for any clunking noises over bumps or uneven wear on rear tyres, which could indicate ongoing movement. The oil leak noted in July 2022, though described as non-excessive, should be checked for recurrence—modern Fiestas are prone to gasket or seal degradation, and persistent leaks can lead to engine damage. Tyre condition remains critical; while the nearside front tyre issue was resolved, buyers should verify all four tyres for even tread wear, edge scuffing, or signs of underinflation, which could point to alignment or suspension wear. Structural corrosion is not flagged, but a thorough examination of the rear sub-frame, wheel arches, and underbody for surface rust or paint degradation is advisable, given the vehicle’s age.
