2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · WO65 ACY

The Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trajectory, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 19 February 2026 at 43,551 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show consistent compliance. The only aberration occurred on 24 February 2025 when the vehicle failed at 41,527 miles yet the tester logged no defects; a subsequent pass on the same day at 41,529 miles indicates the issue was administrative or non-mechanical and promptly resolved. Across the visible history the trend is neither worsening nor deteriorating. Registered in 2016, the car has covered 43,551 miles over roughly a decade, equating to a low average of 4,355 miles per year. Annual tests reveal gentle accumulation: 37,224 miles in February 2023, 38,987 in February 2024, and 41,529 by February 2025, rising to 43,551 by February 2026. No abrupt mileage spikes appear. The sparse but clean record suggests previous keepers limited use and met statutory testing, though prolonged standing implicit in low mileage can conceal degradation not surfaced by MOT checks. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of components prone to age rather than mileage wear. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and brake discs for corrosion or binding calipers after idle periods. Verify structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for rust, and confirm exhaust emissions remain within limits. The unexplained failure entry from February 2025 warrants scrutiny of the V5C and test documentation to ensure no omitted defect.
