2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · JS58 TER

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a clear improving trend in maintenance discipline. The most recent inspection on 18 June 2025 at 60,178 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the owner has successfully addressed previous mechanical oversights. While the history shows instances of failure, the subsequent clean test sheets suggest that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 50,624 miles and the June 2024 test at 55,481 miles, the car covered 4,857 miles, reflecting lower-than-average annual usage which typically reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components but increases the risk of dry rot in rubber parts or seals. The intervals between tests remain regular, suggesting a consistent testing schedule. The failures recorded in July 2023 and June 2024 indicate that specific components required immediate attention prior to those passes. Since the specific mechanical reasons for these failures were not detailed in the summary provided, a buyer must physically inspect the vehicle for signs of recent repairs on common Fiesta failure points. Focus on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake component condition, as these are the primary causes of MOT failures on this model. Given the age of the car, check the underbody for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points to ensure no hidden rust has compromised the structural integrity of the chassis despite the low mileage.
