2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HX16 AEM

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 29 July 2025 at 14,552 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 1,455 miles per year. The record shows very gradual accumulation, moving from 13,471 miles in July 2021 to 14,552 miles by July 2025. Such low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which often introduces different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and engine mounts can perish or crack over a decade of light use. Check for flat spots on the tyres and ensure the brake discs have not suffered from surface corrosion or seizing due to prolonged inactivity. Verify the condition of the battery and fluid levels, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from battery sulfation and moisture buildup in the oil. While the MOT history is flawless, the lack of recorded wear on consumables across five years suggests the car has lived a sheltered life, making a check for perished seals and perished rubber essential.
