2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WG67 FNE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. During the most recent test in August 2025 at 66,805 miles, the car initially failed due to multiple defects including worn wipers and thin brake pads. While it passed the re-test the same day, the presence of several new advisories regarding corroded brake pipes suggests that the previous owner only addresses issues once they threaten an MOT rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a recorded gap of 5,565 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by 9,189 miles driven between July 2024 and August 2025. This steady annual accumulation suggests typical use, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber-based components like tyres and wiper blades that have appeared as advisories across the last four years. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyres. The rear outer brake pipes were flagged for corrosion in 2025, and the tester noted they were covered in grease or other material, which can mask developing leaks or accelerated structural decay. Furthermore, the rear tyres have been noted for cracking and perishing since at least 2022 at 49,050 miles. This indicates the vehicle may sit for long periods or is stored in conditions that age the rubber quickly, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
