2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WG67 FNH

The 2017 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and largely unblemished roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT conducted on 10 December 2025 at 25,890 miles resulting in a pass. The sole advisory noted a cut to the nearside front tyre that had not penetrated to the ply or cords, a minor defect that does not indicate systemic neglect. Across the five-year history from June 2022 through December 2025, the vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests, and the maintenance trend is firmly stable with no recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of very light use. Between June 2022 at 17,201 miles and December 2025 at 25,890 miles, the car covered just 8,689 miles over roughly three and a half years, averaging approximately 2,483 miles annually during that window. The earlier record shows a similar pattern, with the car reaching 19,029 miles by June 2023 and 21,629 miles by June 2024. This is well below the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting prolonged periods of standing or exclusively short local journeys. Low mileage can preserve mechanical components but also introduces its own risks, particularly with rubber seals, tyre perishing, and brake surface corrosion from infrequent use. The advisory history is sparse but revealing. In June 2022 at 17,201 miles, both rear tyres were flagged for slight damage, cracking, or perishing, and the wiper blade was defective. These are consumable items and the tyre condition is consistent with a vehicle that may have sat stationary for extended periods, allowing sidewall deterioration. The December 2025 advisory regarding a cut to the nearside front tyre is isolated and minor, but it does suggest the car has recently encountered road debris or kerbing damage. A prospective buyer should inspect all four tyres carefully, checking the date codes to confirm they are not aged beyond six years regardless of remaining tread depth, and examine the sidewalls for any fresh cuts or bulges. Beyond the documented advisories, the low-mileage profile warrants a focused inspection of components that suffer from underuse rather than wear. Brake discs and pads should be checked for surface corrosion and uneven pad adhesion, which can develop when a car is left standing. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for perishing or cracking, as rubber deteriorates with age and temperature cycling independent of mileage. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been used predominantly for short trips that prevent moisture from evaporating. A test drive at varying speeds will reveal any binding calipers, suspension knocks, or steering irregularities that static inspection might miss.
