2016 FORD FIESTA1.0L Petrol

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 11 February 2026 at 59,699 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to this, the February 2025 and February 2024 tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its recorded history. Mileage stands at 59,699 against a ten-year-old chassis, equating to roughly 5,970 miles per year. The record shows light annual use: 54,095 miles in February 2024, 57,305 in February 2025, and 59,699 by February 2026. Two same-day failures on 11 February 2025 (57,293 miles) and 12 February 2024 (54,095 miles) were logged with no defects recorded, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The data is sparse and clean beyond those anomalies. Low mileage and standing periods can mask degraded rubber components. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for stiffness or corrosion that a low-use car may develop without showing in MOT advisories. Check brake discs for surface rust and confirm tyre sidewall condition given the car's likely intermittent use. The absence of recorded advisories across four passed tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the twin no-defect failures hint at careless test booking rather than neglect of the vehicle itself. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given the age and dormant-use profile.
