Ford Fiesta Fiesta Mk7 (2017–2023) FIESTA-MK7
The seventh-generation Fiesta (2017-2023) was built at Cologne and sold across the EU market; the three-door body and panel van derivative were both discontinued in 2022, a year before the model itself.
Its 1.0 EcoBoost engine carries the same documented coolant-intrusion risk found on other Fox-family applications, so the cooling-system pressure test and oil-contamination check are the relevant route; a 1.5 TDCi diesel car instead needs its own service-history check.
Assessing an individual example means confirming engine, body style and production year against the documents and VIN before choosing which of these two inspection routes applies.

Pre-purchase checklist
- ☐Pressure-test the cooling system and check for a slow pressure drop with no visible external leak; pull the dipstick and filler cap and check for a milky emulsion; a workshop can confirm with a UV-dye coolant trace or a borescope inspection of the cylinder head for micro-cracks
- ☐Confirm the exact engine and body style (3-door dropped spring 2022) from the registration document, not the advert wording
