2016 FORD FIESTA1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, with the maintenance trend showing signs of improvement. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 33,469 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed. This clean result follows a period of minor advisories and failures, suggesting the car is currently in a good mechanical state regarding its primary safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Ford, totaling only 33,469 miles which represents an average of approximately 3,347 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with reduced wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it can also mask degradation of rubber-based components through age. Between September 2023 and September 2025, the car covered 9,953 miles, showing a consistent low-intensity usage pattern that suggests the vehicle is used primarily for short local trips rather than long-distance commuting. A physical inspection should focus on the areas that previously triggered faults to ensure repairs were comprehensive. The 2024 test flagged a worn offside rear suspension arm pin or bush, while the 2022 record noted a non-excessive transmission oil leak. You should verify the gearbox housing remains free of active weeping and check the rear suspension bushings for any fresh play or cracking. Given the 2021 failure regarding uneven tyre wear on the edges, a wheel alignment check is advisable to ensure the geometry remains correct and is not causing premature tyre degradation despite the low annual mileage.
