2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GD17 OFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 6 January 2026 at 21,762 miles which resulted in no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean passes in the preceding years, indicating that the mechanical and structural components remained within tolerance limits. The lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests the car has been maintained without significant deferred faults or recurring failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,418 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered only 575 miles, and it added just 881 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. While this low usage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals of standing can lead to secondary issues. The single failure on 10 January 2024 at 20,306 miles suggests a specific issue was rectified immediately before the subsequent pass. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation that mileage cannot mask, specifically checking for surface corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers which often occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. Examine the rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to verify that the engine oil and brake fluid have been changed according to time intervals rather than just distance to prevent internal component oxidation.
