2016 FORD FIESTA1.0L Petrol

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 86,005 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available record. Mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,600 miles per year. The record runs from 65,110 miles at the 17 December 2022 test through 77,202 miles in December 2023, then 85,421 miles in December 2024 and 86,005 miles in February 2026. The 2023 to 2024 period saw the largest annual gain at 8,219 miles; the 2024 to 2026 span added only 584 miles across fourteen months, implying the car saw very light use recently. A failed test on 15 December 2023 at 77,202 miles carries no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-based failure. Given the clean advisory history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. Tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes warrant physical checks for age-related cracking or flat spotting from the low recent mileage. Standing periods can allow corrosion to begin on structural members and exhaust components even when the tester logged no defects. The absence of recurring advisories on coil springs, binding calipers, or emissions points to reasonable previous ownership upkeep. A pre-purchase check should confirm the February 2026 pass reflects genuine condition and not a lightly driven car masking dormant wear.
