2017 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · MX17 HKA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 26 May 2026. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, though a recent failure was recorded just eleven days prior at 53,367 miles. The tester flagged the exhaust emissions for exceeding manufacturer limits, but the fact that the vehicle passed immediately upon rectification suggests the owner addressed the issue, likely through a sensor replacement or a fuel filter change, to bring the car back into compliance. At approximately nine years old, the recorded mileage of 53,378 miles represents a low annual average of roughly 6,000 miles. This low-intensity usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing a gap of 6,634 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 7,919 miles in the final year. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the oil leak noted during the May 2024 test at 40,775 miles. Although the tester deemed it non-excessive at the time, leaks on low-mileage engines indicate aging gaskets or seals that may worsen. You should also verify the condition of the windscreen stone chip mentioned in 2024 to ensure it has not developed into a structural crack. Given the lack of corrosion or suspension-related advisories in the history, the primary focus should remain on the engine's cleanliness and the continued integrity of the emissions system.
