Hi there have just purchased a Telecaster MIM SN MZI170---- Which denotes 2001
The 1 after the Z looks like an I
The body is 3 colour sunburst with a black scratch guard.

Can't work out how to upload pictures but can email them if needed.
Your opinions needed before I take it back.
I have seen one like it before on a chat page by someone in Italy.

Upload your pics to some pic hosting site - do NOT use photobucket, they made things impossible.
Find the image address; starts with "http" and ends with ".jpg".
Copy that, click the IMG-button (visible above this post message box) and paste the pic address between the ][ brackets.
Preview your message.

A serial number alone is not enough to evaluate authenticity. Pics (a lot of them, sharp enough, from every side, details) are needed. The background story often helps, too - what is the guitar supposed to be, mods, price level etc.

Link to the other query about the serial No http://www.tdpri.com/threads/tele-mexico-serial-number.170383/

Have been browsing the interweb and have found quite a number of MIM Telecasters with an I instead of a 1.

Again Thanks

I'll agree with the good people of tdpri; the serial number starts with MZ1, not MZI. That part is to tell it's a Mexican product, and tells the year; it's the same for every MIM instrument of a given year. The rest of the serial number belongs to the particular guitar (/bass), it's the individual identification part.
With Fender, it's not uncommon that those parts were in different fonts, or just a little misaligned.

And in my opinion, the guitar looks OK; as in 'real Fender Standard Telecaster, Made in Mexico' - and the 400 you paid is within usual limits.
One pic on the forum, just as an example:
