2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · MV16 ACF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing an improving trend in its maintenance history. The most recent MOT conducted on 28 May 2025 at 108,573 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the car suffered failures in prior years, the two consecutive clean passes suggest the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,857 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 7,748 miles covered between the May 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 1,396 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This regular interval suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber-based suspension components and seals to prevent seizing or corrosion-related degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures at 99,429 and 107,177 miles, as the provided summary does not list the exact reasons for those rejections. Given the mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines is necessary, as these are common points of wear on the Fiesta at this distance. Check the structural integrity for corrosion around the sills and wheel arches to ensure that the recent passes are not masking underlying surface rust that could accelerate in future tests.
