2017 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · MJ67 WPW

This Ford Fiesta has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent cycle ending October 2025 at 47,452 miles. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, though the absence of any advisories or defects in prior tests does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-wear components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. The latest test’s clean pass suggests the vehicle passed all mandatory checks for structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and critical systems, but the lack of advisories also means no prior issues were flagged for attention. Buyers should verify whether the vehicle has undergone any off-cycle maintenance, as the record does not reflect routine servicing or consumable replacements. The recorded mileage of 47,452 miles over nine years—approximately 5,272 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2021 (22,597 miles) and 2022 (28,800 miles) tests, a 6,203-mile increase in a single year, which may suggest a period of active use before a return to lower mileage accumulation. The remaining intervals show consistent annual mileage of around 3,500 to 4,000 miles, suggesting prolonged periods of storage or limited use. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on drivetrain and suspension components, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle was stored under optimal conditions, potentially exposing it to corrosion or battery discharge. Given the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise high-wear items that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common failure points in Fiestas—and check for binding or uneven brake calipers, which could indicate past neglect. The brakes themselves should be examined for excessive wear on pads or discs, though the lack of advisories suggests they have not failed recently. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be inspected, as prolonged storage can accelerate rust development. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, especially around the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, as these are prone to failure in vehicles with variable usage patterns.
