2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · RO17 PZB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 55,585 miles passed, yet it noted recurring issues with brake fluid levels near the minimum mark and a persistent tyre pressure monitoring light. These faults have appeared in the three preceding tests, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical requirements once they are flagged by a tester or become critical. At 55,585 miles over nine years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 6,176 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between the February 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 8,400 miles between 2025 and 2026. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, the record indicates the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, contributing to the rubber degradation and fluid neglect. A prospective buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the 2025 test flagged thin front brake pads and the low fluid level has persisted into 2026. This fluid level could indicate a slow leak or significant pad wear that requires immediate attention. The history also shows a chronic lack of tyre maintenance, with perishing and uneven wear noted as far back as 2022. You must check all tyres for sidewall cracking and proper alignment, as the previous owner consistently failed to replace them before they reached legal limits despite the low mileage. The mention of low engine oil in February 2024 is a red flag for general service intervals, which can lead to accelerated internal engine wear over time. While no structural corrosion or suspension failures have been recorded, the recurring advisories regarding fluids and consumables suggest the vehicle has been operated with minimum maintenance standards. Ensure the tyre pressure monitoring system is actually functional rather than just a faulty sensor, as the light has been a constant fixture for two years.
