2016 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.2L Petrol · DGZ 7022

The most recent MOT on 26 June 2025 recorded a pass at 74 086 miles, yet the test is now well beyond the 12‑month validity window as of 8 August 2026. The immediate preceding entry on the same day shows a failure at 74 012 miles, followed by the retest pass, indicating the fault was minor and promptly rectified. This pattern suggests the vehicle’s maintenance trend is improving after a brief setback, with no recurring defects noted in the earlier 2023‑2024 tests. Mileage progression is steady but slightly accelerated in the last year. Between the July 2024 pass at 66 172 miles and the June 2025 pass, the odometer moved roughly 7 840 miles in about 11 months, averaging close to 720 miles per month—marginally above the long‑term average of 7 400 miles per year. The earlier interval from the failed test at 55 888 miles on 23 June 2023 to the passed test at 55 927 miles on 24 June 2023 shows minimal mileage change, hinting at limited use or a short gap between tests. Overall the mileage accumulation is consistent, with no abrupt spikes that would signal abnormal wear. A buyer should focus inspection on the components that could have triggered the undocumented failures. Check the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, test ride for suspension noise or excessive movement in the bushes, and examine the underbody for rust or corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills. Tyre tread depth and condition are critical given the high mileage, as is the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion. A professional visual check of the drivetrain mounts and a thorough review of any advisory notices from previous tests will provide additional confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
