FORD FIESTA2016 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 April 2026 at 53,852 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage. The April 2026 record lists a failed test on the same date and mileage as the pass, with no defects logged; this points to an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical defect, and the vehicle cleared the same day. Annual mileage averages around 5,385 miles, well below typical use for a ten-year-old car. The records trace a steady climb: 41,203 miles in April 2023, 45,912 in April 2024, 50,098 in April 2025, and 53,852 in April 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. Low yearly use suggests lighter load on consumables and drivetrain, though standing periods can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity across five tests, the buyer faces no flagged mechanical risks from the record. The clean history implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current. A physical inspection should still confirm underbody condition for rust, check brake calipers for binding after standing, and verify tyre sidewall condition given low mileage may mask age-related degradation rather than wear. Given the sparse but clean MOT data, the buyer should request service receipts to corroborate intervals. The same-day fail and pass without defects warrants a check of the DVSA portal for the exact refusal reason. Absent recorded faults, the vehicle shows no worsening pattern and remains a low-risk purchase on paper.
