2017 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · WN17 LAE

The 2017 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT test on 14 January 2026 at 54,842 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it remains roadworthy at the time of testing. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no pattern of recurring mechanical deterioration across the five recorded tests spanning from September 2023 to January 2026. The single failure recorded on 26 September 2025 at 54,073 miles was resolved and passed on retest on the same day, indicating a minor fault that did not reflect systemic issues with the vehicle. The mileage accumulation of approximately 6,094 miles per year over the vehicle's nine-year life is entirely typical for a car of this age and usage pattern. The progression from 25,135 miles in September 2023 to 40,058 miles in October 2024 shows consistent annual usage of roughly 14,000 to 15,000 miles per year, with a notable slowdown to under 800 miles between October 2025 and January 2026. This reduced mileage in the final months suggests the vehicle may have seen lighter use or periods of inactivity recently, which is consistent with the clean brake and suspension advisories throughout the record. The MOT history contains no advisories or defects related to suspension components, brake system wear, structural corrosion, exhaust emissions, or steering geometry across all five tests. This clean record is a positive indicator, though buyers should recognise that MOT testing focuses on safety-critical items and does not assess overall mechanical condition comprehensively. Given the vehicle's age and the absence of recorded issues, a thorough in-person inspection should verify the condition of the clutch assembly, gearbox synchros, engine timing components, and cooling system, as these areas fall outside standard MOT assessment but represent common wear items on a nine-year-old Fiesta with this mileage profile.
