2016 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · AO66 ADX

The most recent MOT test on 15 December 2025 confirms the 2016 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy at 61,935 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past three annual tests, though the 2024 cycle includes an unusual duplicate entry—both a pass and a fail at 56,932 miles on 9 December 2024—likely a DVSA administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. No recurring faults or advisories appear in the clean history, suggesting the vehicle has not experienced persistent problems with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding brakes, or structural corrosion during these tests. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude wear that falls outside MOT scope, such as minor suspension play or brake pad thickness beyond the 1.5mm legal limit. The recorded mileage progression shows consistent annual usage, averaging around 5,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt mileage jumps between tests, though the 2024 duplicate suggests either a clerical oversight or a brief period where the vehicle was not tested as expected. The most recent test was conducted just five months ago, which is well within the DVSA’s recommended interval for annual checks, though it does not account for any interim maintenance or wear that may have accumulated since then. Given the absence of advisories or defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as the suspension bushes (particularly rear), coil springs for corrosion or fatigue, and brake calipers for binding or excessive wear. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or warped discs, as the Fiesta’s front disc-brake system is prone to uneven wear over 60,000 miles. Additionally, a thorough underbody inspection is warranted to assess for corrosion in the sills, subframe, or exhaust mounts, especially if the vehicle has seen wet or salted roads. The dual MOT entries in 2024 warrant confirmation that no undocumented work was performed between tests, as this anomaly could indicate either neglect or inconsistent servicing.
