2017 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · GD66 WSX

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 76,643 miles returned no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in December 2024, suggesting that the current ownership is maintaining the vehicle effectively after the significant failures recorded in late 2023. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 56,520 miles and December 2025 at 76,643 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, representing steady and typical usage. There are no signs of long periods of inactivity or sudden bursts of high mileage that would typically lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components or brake seizing. A buyer should pay close attention to the structural integrity and suspension assembly during a physical inspection. The 2023 failure highlighted excessive play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and the track rod end, while the 2022 test noted pitted front brake discs and worn tyres. Although these appear resolved, the recurring mention of general underside corrosion starting in 2023 necessitates a thorough look at the chassis sills and mounting points to ensure that rust has not progressed into structural weakness that a standard MOT test might overlook.
