2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ST17 HBD

The 2017 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent 2025-07-29 MOT at 57,037 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-08-02 (51,938 miles) and 2023-06-13 (46,482 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed 2024-07-29 MOT at the same mileage as the subsequent pass raises questions about procedural accuracy or transient faults. No structural, braking, or emission issues were flagged across the record, indicating no critical mechanical risks. Mileage progression shows the vehicle has accumulated 57,037 miles over 9 years, averaging 6,337 miles annually—a typical rate for its age. The 2022-06-27 test at 40,952 miles to 2023-06-13 at 46,482 miles reflects a 5,530-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a 5,450-mile jump to 51,938 miles by 2024-08-02. This suggests steady usage without significant gaps, though the 2024-07-29 failure at 51,938 miles remains unexplained. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, implying no escalating issues. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear. The absence of exhaust emission failures is positive, but a physical check of the underbody for corrosion is advisable. While the MOT record shows no critical faults, the unexplained 2024-07-29 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond documented tests.
