2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SC66 JZF

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 50,638 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also logged a failed attempt with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior tests of 2 October 2024 at 48,348 miles, 8 January 2024 at 44,917 miles, and 12 January 2023 at 39,964 miles, the vehicle passed each time with no advisories or defects raised. Recorded mileage sits at 50,638 against an approximate nine-year age, equating to roughly 5,626 miles per year. This is low for the model year. The annual increments show gentle accumulation: 4,047 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, then 3,431 to October 2024, and 2,290 to September 2025. No abrupt gaps or rapid climbs appear in the data. The clean sheet across every entry indicates the previous keeper kept the car lightly used and formally tested on schedule, with no deferred consumable replacements or ignored wear items flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low mileage combined with the 2025 same-day fail and pass points to possible periods of inactivity; standing time promotes seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and corroding brake discs or suspension bushes. Examine the subframe and sills for structural rust, check the exhaust for internal degradation, and confirm the rear brakes free off without binding. The absence of advisories across five years means no recurring mechanical trend exists to track. Verify the 25 September 2025 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as a no-defect fail often stems from documentation or emissions equipment faults missed in the summary. Otherwise the history supports a low-risk purchase subject to standard pre-sale checks.
