2016 FORD FIESTA1.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition, following a clean pass in June 2026 at 42,092 miles. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement trajectory after a period of instability between 2023 and 2024. The two most recent annual tests recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting that the previous mechanical and consumable issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained. At 42,092 miles over ten years, this Fiesta has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between September 2019 and June 2021, where the car covered only 1,747 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components. The consistent annual increase of roughly 3,000 miles in recent years suggests a predictable short-distance usage pattern. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry, given the failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring in 2021. The recurring failures regarding worn tyres in 2023 and 2024 indicate potential persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that caused uneven tyre wear over time. Furthermore, the 2024 failure due to excessive smoke emissions is a significant data point; while the car has passed subsequent tests, a physical inspection should verify the engine for signs of oil consumption or carbon buildup to ensure the underlying root cause was fully resolved.
