Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness certificate following a pass on 16 June 2025. The maintenance trend shows a period of instability, with the car failing a test just three days prior to that success in June 2025, and another failure in June 2023. While the vehicle has passed its last two tests without recorded defects, the recurring failures suggest that specific mechanical issues were addressed only upon inspection rather than being managed through a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At 76,918 miles over nine years, the Ford Fiesta has averaged approximately 8,546 miles per year. This usage profile aligns with typical UK driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with tests performed in June 2023, 2024, and 2025. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of inactivity that would suggest unusual wear on drivetrain components, though the mileage indicates a standard level of tear on the suspension and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the components likely responsible for the two recorded failures, as the data does not specify the technical reasons for the declines in 2023 and 2025. Focus the evaluation on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake assembly for signs of play or binding. Given the history of failures, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the exhaust system is also necessary to ensure no deep corrosion is developing despite the most recent defect-free pass. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.

Our Verdict

A sensible choice for a small petrol hatchback, provided the recent MOT failure is clarified. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without recorded defects in recent years.

When inspecting this specific 1.0L Fiesta, ask the seller for clarification regarding the MOT failures in June 2023 and June 2025. Although the records show 'no defects recorded' at the time of passing, a failure implies an issue was present that required attention. Knowing what those issues were—even if they weren't officially logged as defects on the pass certificate—is vital for peace of mind.

Check the service history to see if the higher-than-average mileage has been met with regular oil changes, which is critical for the 1084cc EcoBoost engines. Given the age and mileage, ensure the brake pads and tyres are in good condition, as these are common maintenance items for this model.

The 1084cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger capacity models. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback used for commuting or city driving.

Maintenance costs for a Ford Fiesta are generally predictable, though you should budget for regular consumables like tyres and brakes. With an estimated annual mileage significantly higher than the model average, fuel will be your primary ongoing expense.

Because this vehicle has seen higher-than-average annual usage, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and headlamps. These are among the top failure reasons for the Ford Fiesta model aggregate data.

Inspect the underside for any signs of exhaust wear or corrosion, as 'exhaust' is a common failure point for this model. Additionally, since the 2025 MOT involved a failure at 76,918 miles, check that any recent repairs to the lighting or braking systems have been completed to a high standard.

This 2017 white Ford Fiesta features a 1.0L petrol engine and has covered 76,918 miles as of its last MOT in June 2025. While it has experienced two MOT failures (in 2023 and 2025), both were followed by immediate passes at the same mileage, suggesting minor issues were rectified. The mileage is higher than the model average of 5,839 miles per year, reflecting more frequent usage.

The Ford Fiesta shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6% across 1.5 million analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to headlamps, exhausts, and tyres.
