FORD FIESTA2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent MOT test conducted on July 25, 2025 at 110,463 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While the history shows instances of immediate failure, the recent transition to a clean pass suggests that the previous owner has addressed identified mechanical issues and maintained the vehicle effectively. The mileage profile remains consistent with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the car covered 17,128 miles, showing a period of higher intensity compared to the subsequent 10,766 miles recorded between November 2023 and July 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular road use, which generally prevents premature wear on components like brake lines and suspension seals compared to the degradation often associated with long periods of standing stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2022 and 2023, although the records provided do not specify the exact mechanical faults for those dates. Given the mileage exceeds 110,000 miles, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system is essential as these components often reach fatigue at this interval. The buyer should also look for signs of corrosion on the chassis and check the integrity of the brake discs to ensure the recent clean MOT result is not masking underlying structural or mechanical wear.
