2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WG67 FND

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and largely unremarkable maintenance trend across its MOT history. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 38,992 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged perishing on both front tyres. This is a minor advisory, yet its recurrence suggests the car has spent extended periods stationary. The record shows no structural failures, no corrosion-related rejections, and no escalating mechanical defects. Overall, the vehicle has remained roadworthy with only low-level advisories, indicating a pattern of basic upkeep rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a nine-year-old car. Between 2021 and 2025, the odometer moved from 26,944 to 38,992 miles, adding roughly 12,000 miles over four years. That equates to around 3,000 miles annually in the most recent period, down from approximately 4,600 miles per year in the earlier phase between 2017 and 2021. The gap between the November 2024 test at 36,789 miles and the November 2025 test at 38,992 miles shows a modest 2,203-mile increase, consistent with light, local use. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or rapid accumulation spikes that would suggest odometer tampering or sudden high-intensity use. The recurring advisory on front tyre perishing, noted in both the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, points to age-related rubber degradation rather than aggressive driving. Tyres on a car this age will naturally perish if the vehicle sits for long periods, regardless of tread depth. A buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls closely for cracking and verify the date codes, as original or early-replacement tyres from 2019-2021 may now be approaching the end of their safe service life. The rear registration plate deterioration flagged in 2022 and 2024 is cosmetic and easily remedied. No suspension, braking, or exhaust defects have appeared across the full record, which is a positive sign for a small city car of this age. Still, a physical inspection of the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and brake lines, is advisable given the low mileage and potential for long stationary periods to allow moisture to settle in cavities.
