2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SN17 TLU

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 6 March 2026 at 66,128 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from February 2024 through March 2026 clearing without advisories or recorded faults. No worsening mechanical condition or recurring defect pattern emerges from the data. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old car, with the record showing 48,012 miles on 20 February 2024, 57,017 miles on 28 February 2025, and 66,128 miles on 6 March 2026. That equates to roughly 9,000 miles per year between tests, consistent with light-to-moderate private use. The history is sparse but clean, showing only two failed tests on 16 February 2024 and 6 March 2026 where the tester logged no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clear MOT trail. The absence of advisories does not confirm the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or subframe corrosion, all of which can pass a visual test yet degrade rapidly under UK winter road salt. The twin zero-defect failures suggest the car may have been presented without correct documentation or before a retest, so verify the V5C and test certificate authenticity. Given the low annual mileage, prolonged standing periods are plausible, which raises the risk of seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and perished rubber components not captured by the MOT. Inspect the exhaust emissions system and underbody structural integrity in person before purchase.
