2017 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · FJ17 TPU

The Ford Fiesta presents a mixed roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 11 September 2023 at 121,432 miles shows a pass and a fail recorded on the same day with no defects listed, echoing an identical pattern from 8 August 2022 at 110,819 miles. The maintenance trend is neither clearly worsening nor improving; the record is clean of advisories yet marred by duplicated pass/fail entries that suggest administrative re-test anomalies rather than mechanical decline. Covered 121,432 miles in roughly nine years, the car averages 13,492 miles annually, high for a 2017 supermini and pointing to sustained commuting use. Mileage climbed from 97,616 on 12 August 2021 to 110,819 by 8 August 2022, then to 121,432 by 11 September 2023, a steady 11,000 to 13,000 mile yearly spread with no standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse, showing three annual tests and no advisories or noted component wear across suspension, brakes, or emissions. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the elevated mileage and absent advisory history. The same-day fail/pass cycles in 2022 and 2023 leave the exact reason unstated; verify with the test station whether a minor item like a wiper blade or lamp was rectified before the pass. Check underneath for structural corrosion and examine exhaust emissions against current limits, as the record offers no evidence either way on long-term consumable upkeep.
