2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FH67 KDK

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and clean mechanical history, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 30 July 2025 at 86,326 miles. The maintenance trend remains consistently positive, with zero defects recorded across all tests. A minor anomaly appears in the record on 18 July 2025, when the vehicle failed at 86,286 miles despite showing no specific defects, suggesting an aborted test or an administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault, as it passed cleanly just twelve days later. This pattern indicates a vehicle that has required no remedial mechanical work to meet roadworthiness standards. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,600 miles per year. The progression shows steady, incremental increases rather than erratic spikes. Between the December 2022 test at 42,323 miles and the December 2023 test at 62,289 miles, the Fiesta covered roughly 20,000 miles, indicating a period of heavier use. The subsequent twelve months saw a notable drop in usage, with only 17,326 miles added between December 2023 and July 2024, and a mere 41 miles recorded between the July 2025 tests. This recent drop suggests the vehicle is now covering much shorter distances or has spent extended periods stationary. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, the shift to low-mileage, short-journey usage warrants a physical inspection of specific components prone to deterioration from standing or cold running. Buyers should examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, a common issue when a vehicle sits unused or only travels short distances, as this can lead to binding or uneven pad wear. The condition of the tyres requires scrutiny for flat spots or perishing, particularly if the car has remained stationary for long periods. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration, as urban driving and pothole impacts typical of a Fiesta's use can cause premature cracking or corrosion. A cold start will verify the exhaust emissions and catalytic converter efficiency, ensuring no issues have arisen from repeated short trips preventing the engine from reaching optimal operating temperature.
