2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AV66 NXF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in June 2026 at 82,612 miles identified thinning front brake pads and worn discs, alongside slight play in the offside front track rod end. This indicates that components are now reaching the end of their functional life and require immediate attention, marking a departure from the cleaner maintenance record seen in 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. There was a notable jump of over 11,000 miles between June 2022 and June 2023, followed by a steady increase of roughly 14,000 miles annually thereafter. While the total mileage is moderate for a ten-year-old Fiesta, the frequency of tyre-related advisories suggests the car is often subjected to short-distance trips which can accelerate the wear on rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the track rod end has been flagged for play in both 2023 and 2026. This recurring issue suggests a potential failure to replace components properly or an underlying issue with steering alignment. The braking system also requires a thorough check; the history shows a failure for thin pads in 2022 followed by worn discs in 2026, implying the entire front braking assembly may need replacement beyond a simple pad change. Given the recurring history of worn tyres and uneven tread across 2019, 2021, and 2023, a physical inspection of the current tyre set is essential to rule out persistent misalignment. While there are no structural failures or major corrosion issues in the record, the mechanical history points to an owner who has only addressed faults once they reached a failure threshold or an advisory stage.
