2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FH17 ABZ

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 26,960 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests from 2023 through 2024 also passed cleanly, showing no escalating mechanical concerns across the recorded history. The vehicle's upkeep pattern reads as consistent and uneventful. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 19,177 miles at the 23 May 2022 test, rising to 21,974 miles on 17 May 2023, then 24,916 miles on 22 May 2024, and 26,960 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles per year. The clean pass on 22 May 2024 followed a same-day failure entry carrying no recorded defects, a likely administrative anomaly rather than a genuine fault. Sparse but unbroken data points to light use, probably with extended standing periods. Low annual mileage and a clean MOT sheet do not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Prolonged inactivity commonly degrades suspension bushes, brake calipers, and tyres through cracking and flat-spotting even when test advisories are absent. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet a 2017 shell should still be checked beneath for undertray rust and subframe condition. A pre-purchase look at brake discs for lip wear and the exhaust for internal rot is sensible given the car's standing time. The Fiesta shows no recurring faults or consumable neglect in the official record, but verify service history to confirm fluids and cam belt intervals were met despite the low miles.
