2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HX16 AEB

The 2016 Ford Fiesta demonstrates consistent roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-01-21 assessment at 76,169 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No advisories or critical failures were noted, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained through regular inspections. The absence of recurring faults in braking, suspension, or emissions aligns with a responsible ownership history. The mileage progression reflects typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging ~7,600 miles annually. Notable gaps between tests occurred in 2021–2022 (15,643 miles added in 12 months) and 2022–2023 (16,948 miles added in 12 months), which may indicate periods of higher usage or infrequent MOT renewals. Subsequent tests show more consistent growth, with 13,548 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 8,171 miles between 2024 and 2025. While no irregularities were flagged, the rapid accumulation in 2021–2023 could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and tyre tread. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, focusing on coil springs and bushings, which may show wear from higher mileage periods. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop without MOT alerts. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion are also critical, as they are often overlooked in standard tests. Despite the clean MOT record, the vehicle’s age and mileage suggest proactive checks on these areas to confirm continued reliability.
