2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SW17 AAX

This Ford Fiesta is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 85,677 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its test on 17 March 2026, the immediate pass the following day suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,520 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 78,549 miles and the March 2025 test at 82,156 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 3,600 miles over that year. The subsequent increase to 85,677 miles by March 2026 indicates a slight rise in annual usage, but remains within expected parameters for a nine-year-old hatchback. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no recorded advisories or recurring mechanical failures across the last three years. The absence of flags regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained or lightly stressed. The two recorded failures, occurring on the same day as the subsequent passes in March 2024 and March 2026, do not indicate a pattern of neglect. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the MOT may not highlight as critical failures. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads. Given the vehicle's age and the typical vulnerability of small Fords to underbody corrosion, a brief check of the sills and suspension mounting points is advised to ensure no surface rust is developing.
