2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · AF16 DNJ

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 24,218 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures noted by DVSA testers. Annual mileage sits well below typical use for a ten-year-old car. Records show 19,035 miles at the 20 May 2022 test, rising to 20,697 by 19 May 2023, 22,163 by 17 May 2024, and 24,218 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 2,000 miles added each year. The low, consistent accumulation implies light private use rather than neglect, though prolonged standing between short trips can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. No advisories across any test mean the official record gives no flag for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity issues. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the sills and subframes for rust, and check tyre sidewalls and brake calipers for age-related stiffness given the car's low movement. The sparse, clean history suggests previous owners kept basic statutory testing current without deferred faults. Absence of recorded wear does not certify component condition at ten years old, so a pre-purchase examination of fluids, cambelt interval, and underbody condition remains prudent.
