2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AV16 OKR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent inspection on 4 August 2025 at 82,189 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows three consecutive clean MOT passes, indicating that the vehicle consistently meets the minimum safety standards without recurring mechanical failures. The lack of advisories suggests the previous owners proactively addressed minor issues before they escalated. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. Between August 2023 and August 2025, the car covered 16,082 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. A notable data point exists in October 2022 where the vehicle was tested twice within four days. The initial failure at 59,838 miles followed immediately by a pass at 59,840 miles suggests a minor, easily rectified defect was corrected instantly, such as a bulb or fuse, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. While the MOT history is clean, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components subject to age-related wear that are not always flagged during a test. Given the mileage and age, the buyer should inspect the suspension rubber bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for signs of corrosion. The brake system should be examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the MOT only tests efficiency rather than the condition of the hardware. Checking the chassis for surface rust is also advisable to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade.
