2017 Ford Fiesta ST-Line 1.0L Petrol · SC17 AEP

The 2017 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025‑04‑02 at 82,673 miles passing without defects. The vehicle has shown a stable maintenance trend; the only anomaly was the 2023‑06‑05 failure, which recorded no mechanical defects, indicating a procedural issue rather than a recurring fault. Mileage growth is steady and typical for a nine‑year‑old car. From 16,412 miles in 2020 to 20,850 in 2021, the vehicle logged just 4,438 miles that year. The following year it added 9,433 miles, then 17,513 miles between 2022 and 2023, and 14,320 miles from 2023 to 2024. The most recent jump of 20,557 miles between 2024 and 2025 is still within normal annual ranges. No sudden spikes or gaps suggest sudden neglect or overuse. The MOT record flags only a minor tyre cut in 2021; no other defects have been recorded. A buyer should therefore focus on the components that routinely show wear in a Fiesta: tyre tread depth, brake pad thickness, brake disc condition, and the integrity of the suspension bushings and coil springs. Inspect the steering rack for play, verify that the wheel bearings spin freely, and confirm that the exhaust system is free of leaks or corrosion. Under‑body panels and the chassis should be examined for rust, especially around the wheel arches and front cross‑member. Check the battery terminals for corrosion and confirm that the engine oil level and condition are within specification. In person, the buyer should also verify that the vehicle’s service history matches the MOT record, ensuring that routine maintenance such as oil changes, filter replacements, and brake fluid top‑ups have been performed on schedule. A thorough inspection of the braking system, suspension, steering, and under‑body will confirm that the car’s mechanical and structural integrity remains sound and that the vehicle is ready for continued use.
