2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WB16 AAC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance record. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 September 2025 at 41,737 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory requirements. This clean result mirrors the outcomes of the previous four annual tests, suggesting a vehicle that has not encountered significant mechanical failures or structural degradation during its tenure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,637 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 10,330 miles, representing a consistent usage rate of roughly 2,582 miles annually. This low-intensity use typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly. However, such low annual figures can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods between tests. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or defects, a physical inspection should focus on areas often overlooked in low-mileage cars. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, which occurs regardless of tread depth when a car is infrequently. Check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as infrequent use prevents the pads from cleaning them effectively. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber to ensure the age of the vehicle has not caused the materials to become brittle despite the low mechanical mileage.
