2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FN67 YXV

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 21 August 2025 at 17,793 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all roadworthiness standards. This consistent pattern of passing without advisories suggests a diligent approach to routine maintenance and immediate rectification of any minor faults before they escalate. Accumulating just 17,793 miles over nine years equates to an average of roughly 1,977 miles annually, which is exceptionally low. The MOT records confirm this steady, minimal usage, showing increments of approximately 1,670 miles between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests, and 1,670 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and suspension components, though prolonged periods of standing can cause its own issues, such as flat-spotted tyres or seized brake calipers. Although the official record shows no recurring mechanical faults, the single failed test on 17 August 2022 at 12,602 miles warrants a brief mention, despite the absence of recorded defects in the supplied data. Given the vehicle's low-mileage profile, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to deterioration from light use rather than high mileage. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and date codes, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, a common issue on vehicles that cover short distances. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and verify the exhaust system for any signs of condensation-related corrosion. The clean MOT history reflects well on the previous owner's care, but a hands-on assessment remains essential to confirm the mechanical integrity of a car that has spent much of its life covering minimal distances.
