2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ML17 ABK

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 37,948 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual checks show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Recorded mileage stays low for a nine-year-old car. It rose from 29,115 miles at the 18 November 2022 test to 34,390 miles by 30 October 2023, then 37,219 miles on 12 December 2024, and 37,948 miles by June 2025. That averages roughly 4,200 miles per year. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of hard use, though the 12 December 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. Low annual mileage and the December 2024 dual entry suggest the car may have stood unused for periods, raising the risk of perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, or corrosion on structural members not caught in a static test. Check brake disc condition, underbody structural integrity, and tyre sidewall cracking before purchase. Verify the 12 December 2024 fail-pass anomaly with DVSA records. Confirm service history matches the low mileage. Inspect exhaust emissions equipment and fluid condition, as infrequent running can mask latent faults absent from the MOT advisories.
