2017 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · SY67 TGK

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 September 2025 at 7,659 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though the emergence of tyre-related advisories in the last two years suggests a decline in proactive upkeep. While the car has passed every test since 2020, the shift from clean sheets to repeated tyre warnings indicates a pattern of neglecting consumables. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 851 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, slow accumulation of distance, moving from 3,143 miles in September 2020 to 7,659 miles by September 2025. This pattern confirms the car has spent significant periods stationary, which often introduces specific risks regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres. The September 2024 test at 6,573 miles flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit, and the September 2025 test noted the rear tyres were cracking and perishing. This is a classic symptom of age-related rubber degradation caused by long periods of standing rather than tread wear from road use. Beyond the rubber, the low usage suggests a need to check for seized brake calipers and perished suspension bushes. The lack of recorded defects in the 2020 to 2023 tests is positive, but the recent perishing tyres indicate the vehicle is now reaching a threshold where static age is impacting the mechanical components. A thorough check for battery health and fluid contamination is advised given the minimal annual mileage.
