2017 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · WT17 CPX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT conducted in June 2025 at 43,187 miles revealed a significant accumulation of advisories that were absent in previous years. While the car passed the test, the transition from a clean record to a list of multiple mechanical and structural wear items indicates that the vehicle is now entering a stage of its lifecycle where components require immediate attention. The mileage history reflects a low-use profile, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a nine-year-old car. Between June 2021 and June 2023, the vehicle covered only 7,063 miles, maintaining a perfect inspection record. However, the usage increased sharply between 2024 and 2025, with 9,873 miles covered in a single year. This recent surge in activity coincides with the sudden deterioration of rubber components and braking surfaces, suggesting the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods previously. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The June 2025 test flagged deteriorated rear axle bushes and a worn sub-frame pin or bush, which are critical structural concerns that can lead to unpredictable handling if left unaddressed. Furthermore, the advisory for all four tyres being worn specifically on the inner edges suggests a significant alignment issue or incorrect geometry that has not been rectified. The front brake discs were noted as worn in 2025, following thin pads in 2024, indicating the entire front braking assembly is likely nearing the end of its functional life.
