Our Verdict
This 2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0-litre petrol is a reasonable buy, provided you confirm the cause of the 2024 advisory-only failure and check the car thoroughly in person. The MOT record shows predominantly clean passes, and the low mileage for its age is a clear plus. Approach with normal due diligence rather than alarm.
Given the 2024 failure was retested clean within three days, ask the seller directly what work was carried out between 12 July and 15 July 2024, and request an invoice or receipt. Without that, you cannot tell whether it was something trivial (a bulb, a tyre, an emissions tweak) or something more substantive that could recur. Ford Fiestas of this era are common on the used market, so you have negotiating leverage — use the fact that the failure history exists, however minor, to justify a competitive offer rather than paying near-retail. Insist on seeing the V5C logbook, a full service history (ideally Ford main dealer or a recognised independent), and at least two keys. Also check that the recall campaigns affecting 2017 Fiestas — particularly those around the clutch and door latch issues — have been completed; your dealer can confirm via the registration.
The 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine is one of the more efficient units Ford has produced, typically returning 50-55 mpg in mixed driving and up to 65 mpg on a careful run, keeping fuel costs modest. Road tax sits in a low band for a sub-1.0-litre petrol of this era, generally £20-£30 per year. Insurance falls into a low group (typically group 5-8), making this a cheap car to insure for most drivers. Routine maintenance is inexpensive: an oil and filter change costs around £120-£180, brake pads around £150 fitted, and a cambelt is not required on this chain-driven engine. Estimated annual running cost is £800-£950 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine servicing.
The aggregate Ford Fiesta failure data highlights headlamp issues, exhaust problems and coil spring breakage as the three most common failure causes — so inspect each carefully. Check that both headlamps produce an even, bright beam with no condensation inside the lenses, and that all bulbs (including the often-forgotten number plate lights) function. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly at the rear silencer joint and around the mounting rubbers, as Fiesta exhausts can rot through on a nine-year-old car. Visually inspect the coil springs for any signs of snapping or uneven ride height — a broken coil spring is often first noticed as a clonking noise over bumps. Beyond the MOT-driven checks, listen for timing chain rattle on cold start (a known EcoBoost concern), check the clutch for slipping or juddering (Ford issued a recall for this), and confirm the clutch bite point is high and firm. Look under the car for oil leaks from the cam cover or sump gasket, and check the coolant level for any signs of mayonnaise on the cap suggesting head gasket issues.
This WU67VSF Ford Fiesta is a September 2017-registered 1.0-litre petrol finished in blue, with five MOT tests on record showing four passes and one fail. Notably, the single failure in July 2024 was retested and passed just three days later with no defects recorded at either test, which suggests a minor, quickly-remedied issue rather than a structural concern. Mileage stands at 42,610 miles across roughly nine years, which works out below the model average. The aggregate Ford Fiesta pass rate of 77.6% provides useful context for benchmarking this individual car.
Across the 1.5 million Fiestas analysed, the model sits with a 77.6% MOT pass rate, which is broadly in line with the all-vehicle average and indicates typical rather than exceptional reliability for the class. The dominant failure patterns (headlamp, exhaust, coil spring) tend to be age and mileage-related rather than fundamental design flaws.
