2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HT17 AWY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent test. The January 2026 inspection at 67,407 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the vehicle's primary components met the required standards at the time of testing. The failure recorded on the same date in January 2026 is an anomaly in the data, as no specific defects were documented, but the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle was brought back into compliance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical domestic usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows a steady progression from 42,298 miles in January 2023 to 67,407 miles in January 2026. This represents an average annual usage of approximately 8,376 miles over the last three years, which aligns with the calculated average of 7,490 miles per year. This steady growth suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate risks such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. Given the lack of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, the vehicle appears well-maintained. However, because the MOT is a rolling test of specific safety items, a physical inspection should still focus on consumables that the MOT does not always scrutinise in detail. You should check the remaining tread depth on all tyres and the condition of the wiper blades. A thorough check of the underside for corrosion on the fuel tank and exhaust system is also advised, as these are common areas for degradation on Fiestas of this age. While the MOT history shows no structural integrity issues or brake binding problems, a manual inspection of the brake discs for scoring and the suspension components for play remains a prudent step before purchase.
