2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MF17 WFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding wear components. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 92,412 miles passed, it highlighted advisories regarding tyre condition, specifically an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and a perished nearside rear tyre. This suggests that while the car is mechanically operational, the owner only addresses issues once they approach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 92,412 miles over nine years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 10,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small hatchback. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 5,600 miles driven between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,400 miles covered before the April 2026 inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently, though the increasing mileage puts standard levels of stress on rubber-based components and seals. A buyer must focus their inspection on the rear suspension, as the records show a recurring issue. The April 2024 test flagged heavily worn rear axle mounting bushes, and the May 2025 test noted worn pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside rear arms. Although these did not cause an immediate failure, the persistence of these faults indicates the suspension geometry may be degrading. Furthermore, the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2025 should be monitored to ensure it remains a minor seep and does not evolve into a significant seal failure as the mileage climbs.
