Our Verdict
This 2017 Ford Fiesta presents mixed MOT history requiring careful financial consideration, including multiple historic failures for suspension, braking, and structural components. Buyers should inspect the front tyres, suspension bushes, and driver's seat mechanism closely before committing.
When inspecting this Ford Fiesta, verify that all advisory items noted in previous tests—such as the rear axle bushes and anti-roll bar linkage ball joints—have been properly addressed or budgeted for replacement. Check the operation of the driver's seat folding mechanism, as this was flagged as an advisory in January 2026. Review any available service records alongside the MOT history to understand how frequently wear-and-tear components like brake discs and tyres have been replaced.
The 998.0cc petrol engine sits in a moderate insurance group and generally offers competitive fuel economy for daily commuting. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rates for a 2017 petrol hatchback depend on the specific emissions bracket, but standard annual rates apply. Maintenance costs should account for frequent consumption of consumable parts, given that previous tests noted worn brake discs, suspension bushes, and repetitive tyre wear.
Pay close attention to the suspension system, specifically checking the rear axle bushes and nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint which have appeared as advisories. Inspect the front tyres for inner-edge wear patterns, which were highlighted in both 2024 and 2026 tests. Additionally, test the bonnet security latch and check the front side windows for excessive tinting, both of which have been recorded in past failure sheets.
First registered in March 2017 with an odometer reading of 67,712 miles as of January 2026, this black petrol-powered Ford Fiesta has recorded both passes and failures across its testing history. The data shows recurring advisories and failures relating to tyres, suspension wear, and lighting issues. While the most recent test in January 2026 resulted in a pass after addressing previous advisories, prospective buyers need to factor in past component wear.
The Ford Fiesta holds an average MOT pass rate of 77.4% across over 1.5 million analysed vehicles, with headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms forming the top failure reasons.
