2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CK66 AEB

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness position as of the October 2025 test, where the vehicle passed at 53,709 miles with no defects logged. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the recorded history, with every annual examination from October 2023 through October 2025 clearing without advisories. A curious administrative entry appears on 30 October 2025, showing both a failure and a pass at identical mileage of 53,709; the failure carried no recorded defects, implying a procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits low for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,371 miles per year against the 53,709 total. The record charts steady, light use: 41,832 miles on 17 October 2023, 41,906 by 31 October 2023, 48,217 on 31 October 2024, and 53,709 on 30 October 2025. No abrupt accumulation or standing gaps emerge between tests, and the sparse, defect-free entries suggest the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline without neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual use, as prolonged inactivity can permit corrosion and seized components unseen in a pass result. The October 2023 failure with zero defects warrants a DVSA certificate check to confirm no omitted advisory exists on the linkage. No recurring mechanical or structural faults surface in the data, so serious risk remains unevidenced. Verify underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions during a pre-purchase examination, since clean MOTs at low mileage do not preclude hidden rust or degraded rubber mounts from standing periods.
