2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SW17 AAU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 November 2025 at 71,225 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently clears the testing process following immediate failures. While the record shows a pattern of failing just two days before a scheduled retest in two consecutive years, the subsequent passes suggest that the owner addresses identified faults promptly rather than allowing minor mechanical issues to persist. The mileage progression is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 42,605 miles and the November 2024 test at 61,922 miles, the vehicle covered over 19,000 miles, indicating higher-than-average usage during that specific period followed by a more moderate 9,300 miles in the final year. This suggests regular operation which often helps prevent the brake seizing or component degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. Because the provided history does not list specific defects for the failures, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on common failure points for this generation of Fiesta. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension components, specifically coil springs and rubber bushes, which often show wear at this mileage. The buyer should also check the brake discs for corrosion and inspect the underside for structural rust to ensure that the previous failures were not related to developing mounting corrosion or exhaust leaks.
