2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EK67 ABN

An unusually low annual mileage profile defines this vehicle's history, though the record shows a recent period of mechanical instability. While the most recent test on 09 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, the preceding year saw a failure on 07 June 2025 involving a malfunctioning engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) and an ineffective offside front windscreen wiper. This recent failure and subsequent clearance suggest a period where specific electrical and visibility components required attention, though the current status indicates these issues have been addressed. The recorded mileage of 11,683 miles for a 2017 registration represents an average of approximately 1,298 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the UK national average. Such low usage patterns can indicate infrequent operation, which may lead to different wear profiles compared to high-mileage vehicles. While traditional mechanical components like the engine and gearbox may have lower cumulative wear, vehicles used in this manner can sometimes experience issues related to components that rely on regular movement, such as seals or braking surfaces, though no specific defects related to long-term standing were flagged in the recent MOT history. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the electrical integrity of the dashboard warning systems following the 2025 failure regarding the engine MIL. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor the instrument cluster for any unexpected warning lights or flickering displays, particularly when the engine is under load or after the vehicle has been idling. Any illumination of the engine management light would indicate that the previous major failure has recurred or that a new fault has developed within the sensor network or engine management system. Regarding the 2023 advisory for a slightly damaged nearside front tyre, ensure that the current tread depth and sidewall integrity are inspected. While this was a minor advisory, the buyer should check for any signs of bulging, cracking, or uneven wear on the tyre sidewalls during the inspection. On the road, listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration through the steering wheel that could indicate tyre deformation or issues with the wheel balancing, ensuring the vehicle maintains a straight and stable path at various speeds.
