2017 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · NL66 FPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of annual passes. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 54,903 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately before the re-test, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean record without advisories for the previous three years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 31,966 miles and July 2024 at 46,431 miles, the car covered roughly 14,500 miles over 20 months. The subsequent interval of 8,472 miles leading to the July 2025 test indicates a steady, predictable usage rate. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake corrosion if left stationary. While the digital record is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer should verify the repair that caused the July 2025 failure to ensure it was not a systemic mechanical fault. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and control arm bolts is advisable, as these can perish due to age regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and inspect the structural integrity of the rear sills, as low-mileage cars sometimes suffer from surface corrosion on exposed metal during long periods of inactivity.
