2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · ML67 VKB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes following an initial failure. The most recent test in December 2025 at 145,107 miles shows the car passed with no defects recorded. This follows three consecutive years of passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum regulatory standards without failure. The mileage profile is high for a nine-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant surge in usage between November 2023 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered over 24,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation continued into the 2025 period, with another 20,500 miles recorded before the December 2025 test. Such high annual mileage puts accelerated stress on the drivetrain, clutch, and suspension components compared to lower-average examples. While the MOT records are clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components prone to wear and tear. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion, given the heavy use. Because the vehicle passed without advisories, verifying the thickness of the brake discs and checking for uneven caliper wear is vital to ensure the owner is not merely deferring maintenance. Structural inspection of the chassis and sills for rust is also warranted, as the MOT only checks for significant corrosion that compromises structural integrity.
