2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GL67 YMU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a clean inspection following a period of mechanical instability. The most recent test in December 2025 at 43,705 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the significant issues identified in the previous year were addressed. This represents an improving trend compared to the late 2024 period, where the car failed its initial test due to multiple suspension and tyre faults. At 43,705 miles over nine years, the Fiesta shows low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per year. This low usage often masks wear on drivetrain components, but the record suggests the vehicle may have suffered from age-related degradation. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the car covered only 3,209 miles, yet the tester flagged perished rear tyres and debonded axle bushes. The jump of 3,195 miles into the 2024 test coincided with a failure involving worn axle swivel pins and corroded coil springs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension geometry to ensure the repairs made after 2024 were effective. The history shows recurring issues with the rear axle bushes and coil springs, which are common points of failure on this model when vehicles sit for periods. Check for uneven wear on the front tyres, as the 2023 record noted inner-edge wear suggesting a potential alignment issue. Additionally, verify the condition of the brake discs, as the 2023 advisory regarding a minor lip indicates the components are nearing the end of their thinning life.
