Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a standar
When inspecting this vehicle, verify if the brake pads noted as 'wearing thin' in March 2025 have been replaced. You should also ask for evidence that the damaged ABS wiring mentioned in the same 2025 test was professionally repaired. Check the service book to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed at regular intervals, as this is critical for the 1.2L engine's longevity.
Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres; while the 2023 advisories for cracking and wear were noted, you should check the current tread depth and sidewall condition to see if a new set is required soon. Ensure all exterior lighting is fully operational, following the stop lamp failure recorded in March 2026.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for urban commuting. It typically falls into a modest insurance group and a standard tax bracket for 2017 petrol vehicles, keeping fixed annual costs manageable.
Maintenance for the Fiesta is generally affordable due to the wide availability of parts. Expect typical costs for consumables such as brake pads and tyres, which have appeared in this vehicle's history. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Prioritise an inspection of the braking system. The 2025 MOT recorded thin brake pads and damaged ABS wiring on the nearside front; ensure these have been rectified and that the ABS warning light remains off during a test drive. Check the tyres for any signs of the cracking or perishing noted in the 2023 record, particularly on the rear axles.
Additionally, check the suspension and coil springs, as these are listed as common failure points for the Fiesta model aggregate data. Finally, perform a full walk-around check of all light clusters to ensure the stop lamp failure from 2026 was permanently resolved rather than temporarily patched.
This grey 2017 Ford Fiesta with a 1.2L petrol engine has covered 55,997 miles. Its MOT history consists of four tests since 2023, with one failure for a stop lamp and several advisories related to consumables like tyres and brake pads. The vehicle's record is consistent with typical usage for this model.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, exhaust systems, and coil springs.
