FORD FIESTA2016 · 1.0L PETROL

The 2016 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 68,100 miles with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure for an illegible damaged front plate, an illuminated engine malfunction lamp, an active TPMS warning, and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. The maintenance trend is improving. Prior 2025 and 2024 tests show repeated electrical and consumable faults, yet the latest pass confirms those items were corrected within the test window. Recorded mileage rose from 53,558 in March 2024 to 64,581 in March 2025, then to 68,100 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 11,000 miles in year one and under 4,000 in year two, against a 10-year average of about 6,810 annual miles. The recent drop suggests lighter use or periods off the road. The history is sparse but clean outside the flagged failures, with no structural corrosion or brake mechanical rejects logged. A buyer should still verify the front registration plate fitment and confirm the engine management lamp stays extinguished under live running, since the MIL triggered failures in both 2025 and 2026. The March 2024 test noted offside front sill damage and slightly worn nearside and offside rear swivel pins and bushes; these were advisory only and not revisited, so inspect the sills for progression and check rear axle bush play on a ramp. Tyre condition warrants a physical check. The 2024 test showed both rears worn to the legal edge, and a nail punctured the nearside rear in 2026. Confirm all four tyres carry sound tread and no embedded debris. The headlamp dipped-beam failure in 2025 was rectified for the pass; test both dipped beams and the TPMS reset before purchase.
