2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · A17 KAN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in January 2026 at 59,112 miles. While the most recent test showed no defects, the historical data indicates a period of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The mechanical trend improved significantly after a cluster of failures in late 2024 where multiple suspension and exhaust issues were addressed, suggesting the previous owner only performed necessary mechanical repairs once they resulted in an MOT failure. At 59,112 miles over ten years, this Fiesta has covered a low annual average of approximately 5,900 miles. This low mileage often suggests light road use but can also lead to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components. There is a notable gap in records between June 2019 and December 2020, where the car covered only 10,000 miles in 18 months. Such patterns often indicate the vehicle sitting for extended periods, which can cause bushings and suspension seals to dry and perish, leading to the wear patterns seen later. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension geometry closely, as the record shows a recurring issue with suspension arm bushes and coil springs. The tester flagged a fractured nearside rear coil spring in January 2024 and excessively worn bushes on both rear arms by December 2024. Although these were rectified, the repeated nature of these faults suggests the rear assembly may be under stress or poorly maintained. You should also verify the exhaust flexi for signs of leaks or corrosion, as this was a point of failure in the 2024 test.
