2016 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.2L Other · YJZ 5043

The 2016 Ford Fiesta Zetec presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent DVSA test on 15 January 2025 at 30,869 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories. Prior examinations on 18 December 2023 at 28,897 miles, 29 November 2022 at 26,850 miles and 13 September 2021 at 22,818 miles similarly recorded fault-free results, indicating consistent mechanical integrity under the previous owner's care. Recorded mileage stands at 30,869 over roughly ten years, equating to an average annual use of 3,087 miles. The odometer advanced from 22,818 in September 2021 to 26,850 by November 2022, then 28,897 in December 2023 and 30,869 in January 2025. These increments show light, steady accumulation with no rapid bursts. The sparse yet unbroken test sequence reveals a vehicle subjected to minimal commuting and likely stored for extended periods, a pattern that typically suppresses wear on consumables but demands scrutiny of aged components. No recurring faults appear in the official record, so the buyer faces no flagged structural or mechanical risks from prior tests. Still, the low mileage and age suggest rubber suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls and brake hoses may have suffered weathering from standing. A physical inspection should confirm absence of corrosion on structural members, check brake discs for surface pitting and verify calipers operate freely after inactivity. Given the last test dated January 2025, the vehicle is now eighteen months beyond its latest MOT and will require a fresh test before road use. The previous owner's spotless history implies disciplined upkeep, yet a pre-purchase examination by a qualified technician remains prudent to validate the unseen condition of exhaust emissions systems and steering joints.
