2017 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · MK67 AEM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 37,795 miles indicated a pass despite the offside front tyre being worn to the limit and showing signs of perishing cracking. This mirrors a finding from the September 2024 test at 32,496 miles where the same tyre was flagged for being thin. While the car consistently passes its inspections, the recurring issues suggest the owner delays tyre replacement until they reach failure thresholds. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the car covered only 3,976 miles, indicating very light annual use. However, the gap of 5,299 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025 shows a slight increase in usage. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware, which is consistent with the perished tyre condition noted in the 2025 record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The tester flagged thin front brake pads in 2023 at 27,500 miles, so the current state of the pads and discs needs to be verified. Given the low mileage and the reported perishing tyres, the inspection should also check for seized brake calipers or perished bushings that often occur when vehicles sit stationary. The 2022 advisory regarding items removed from the driver's view also warrants a check to ensure the dashboard and windscreen remain unobstructed and compliant.
