2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GK67 VGX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a sudden decline in preventative maintenance. While the car maintained a clean MOT record between 2022 and 2024, the May 2025 failure at 92,096 miles revealed multiple critical safety and mechanical defects. Although the vehicle passed a retest three days later at 92,101 miles, the presence of structural tyre failure and alignment issues suggests that basic upkeep was neglected until the formal test intervened. At 92,101 miles over nine years, the Fiesta averages approximately 10,233 miles per annum, which aligns closely with standard national averages for a personal car. The mileage data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,200 miles between June 2024 and May 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not sitting for long periods, but the recent wear on components indicates it is reaching a stage requiring more service attention. A buyer must personally inspect the front end and suspension geometry, as the 2025 failure flagged incorrect headlamp aim and exposed cords on the offside tyre. The inner-edge wear on the front tyre often indicates an misalignment or worn suspension bushes that require immediate checking. Furthermore, the tester noted a noise from the auxiliary belt area and an air leak near the manifold during the May test. These mechanical issues should be verified by a technician to ensure the belt is not slipping and that the manifold gasket is not leading to further performance loss or engine failure if left unaddressed.
