2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · ST17 SYO

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, passed on 29 July 2025 at 71,445 miles, recorded zero defects. The maintenance trend is stable and resolving, with no recurring faults or advisories appearing across the entire history. The tester flagged no issues whatsoever. This is a strong indicator of consistent mechanical care and a vehicle that has not developed any progressive structural or mechanical faults in recent years. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a nine-year-old supermini. Between the July 2023 test at 52,500 miles and the June 2024 test at 63,194 miles, the car covered roughly 10,694 miles in eleven months, indicating heavier use during that period. From June 2024 to July 2025, the mileage barely moved, increasing by just one mile across two consecutive tests on 23 and 29 July 2025. This suggests the vehicle may have been standing or used very minimally in the past year. The overall annual average of approximately 7,938 miles sits comfortably within normal expectations for this age and class of vehicle. Buyers should still conduct a thorough physical inspection despite the clean paperwork. The complete absence of any advisories or defects across five consecutive tests is unusual and warrants verification that the vehicle has not been cosmetically patched rather than mechanically repaired. Inspect the underside carefully for corrosion on suspension mounting points, brake lines, and subframe rails, as these can develop silently on a car that may have been standing for extended periods. Check the condition of the tyres for uneven wear or perishing, particularly if the car has covered very few miles since mid-2024, as prolonged standing can cause flat-spotting and sidewall degradation. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which is common on vehicles with low recent mileage. A short road test will confirm that the engine, gearbox, and clutch operate smoothly under load, and that no suspension bush or joint has seized during periods of inactivity.
