2017 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · FP17 FBE

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 24 June 2024 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the latest clean pass following a prior clean pass in April 2023 and an earlier pass in April 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any of the four entries, suggesting the vehicle was presented in testable condition at each attendance. The recorded mileage shows heavy use for a seven-year-old supermini. The tester logged 238,196 miles on 5 April 2022, rising to 271,178 miles by 26 April 2023, an accumulation of roughly 33,000 miles in twelve months. A failed test on 25 April 2023 at that same mileage was followed by a pass one day later on 26 April 2023, also at 271,178 miles, with no defects listed on either entry. No mileage was captured at the 2024 test, leaving the most recent annual usage unverified against the vehicle's age. The single-day fail-and-pass sequence in April 2023 is unusual. With no defects recorded on either the failure or the retest, the rejection likely stemmed from an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, though a buyer should confirm the reason with the testing station. The absence of advisories across all tests is atypical for a high-mileage Fiesta and may indicate the tester did not log wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes. Given the 271,178-mile figure from 2023 and unknown mileage in 2024, a buyer should physically inspect front suspension arms, droplink bushes, and rear beam corrosion, plus measure brake disc wear and tyre tread depth. The high annual mileage implies consumable components have cycled several times. A pre-purchase inspection should also seek the 2023 failure paperwork to rule out any concealed defect.
