2016 FORD FIESTA1.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, following a consistent passing record. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 129,387 miles resulted in a clean pass, mirroring the successful outcomes of the 2025 and 2023 tests. This suggests that the primary mechanical and safety components monitored by the DVSA are currently operating within acceptable parameters despite the high-mile nature of the car. The mileage profile is high for a ten-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between May 2023 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered 13,631 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation indicates consistent heavy road use, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake assemblies. The interval of 3,157 miles between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests shows a recent drop in usage. The single failure recorded in June 2024 at 114,923 miles involved an offside front headlamp and a nearside rear registration plate lamp. These were minor electrical bulb failures that were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. Because the vehicle has now exceeded 125,000 miles, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of high-wear items that the MOT does not test annually. Focus on signs of perished suspension rubber, thinning of the brake discs, and excessive corrosion on the exhaust system, as these areas are common failure points at this mileage bracket.
