2017 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · KT66 ERK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 80,107 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a non-functional offside rear stop lamp. This suggests the owner addresses immediate safety failures once they are identified. The overall trend remains stable as no major structural or recurring mechanical failures have appeared in the last three years. At 80,107 miles over nine years, the Fiesta averages approximately 8,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a car of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 16,700 miles covered between January 2024 and 2025, and another 9,136 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which is beneficial for seals and fluid components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The January 2025 test flagged front brake pads at 75% wear and worn discs, while the 2024 record noted pads at 70% wear. The buyer must verify if these components have been replaced since then. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory regarding play in the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint indicates that suspension components are beginning to show age. A thorough check for perished rubber bushes or excessive steering play is necessary to ensure the wear has not progressed beyond the initial advisory.
