2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MT17 AEE

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness test. The most recent examination on 10 April 2026 at 50,137 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a clean mechanical pass. Prior to that, the car passed every annual test from April 2023 through April 2025 with no advisories or defects logged, so the underlying maintenance trend reads as stable across three consecutive years before the unexplained 2026 failure. Recorded mileage sits at 50,137 against a 2017 build, averaging roughly 5,571 miles per year. The odometer climbed from 38,026 on 27 April 2023 to 47,546 by 15 April 2025, then to 50,137 by April 2026, showing light annual use with no sudden accumulation spikes. A one-day gap between the 27 April 2023 failure and the 28 April 2023 pass at near-identical mileage suggests a rapid rectification and retest, though no fault detail survives in the record. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. The 2026 failure with zero recorded defects warrants scrutiny of test documentation and a full visual check of brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, and underbody corrosion for any latent structural integrity issues the system did not capture. Low standing mileage raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and exhaust degradation from condensation, none of which the MOT log explicitly confirms or denies. Given the clean run from 2023 to 2025 and the low yearly distance, previous keepers appear to have stored and used the car lightly rather than abused it. The solitary 2026 failure demands clarification from the selling party before purchase, as the missing defect data prevents a definitive mechanical verdict on current condition.
