2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AV16 YKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 22 May 2025 at 5,400 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, indicating the car has remained in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 540 miles per year. Between 26 May 2022 and 22 May 2025, the odometer increased by only 895 miles. Such low usage suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which presents a different set of risks than standard wear and tear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to inactivity rather than mileage. Check for perishing rubber on the tyres and suspension bushes, as these can crack when not regularly flexed. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, which often occur when a vehicle sits for long intervals. Verify the health of the battery and check for any signs of fluid leaks from seals that may have dried out. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of recorded defects over four years is likely a result of minimal use rather than active mechanical refurbishment. Ensure the engine oil and other perishables have been changed regardless of the low mileage.
