Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Ford Fiesta is roadworthy per the most recent MOT on 7 October 2025 at 68,512 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend stays stable and clean across the five-year record. A parallel failure entry on that same date and mileage but with no faults cited indicates a procedural anomaly rather than mechanical defect. The recorded mileages reveal light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. From the 15 July 2022 test at 51,726 miles, the car travelled 5,160 miles to the 4 August 2023 examination at 56,886 miles, then 3,591 miles to the 2 September 2024 test at 60,477 miles, and 8,035 miles to the 7 October 2025 pass at 68,512 miles. Annual increments hug the 6,851-mile yearly mean, with continuous annual testing and no gap. The defect-free ledger implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current and presented the car for maintenance before each test. Despite the spotless MOT history, a buyer must still inspect primary wear components in person. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, measure brake disc thickness, and check rear beam mounts for corrosion. The tester flagged no advisories on exhaust emissions or structural integrity, yet early rust at sill seams often escapes detection. Verify tyre condition and confirm calipers are free from binding.
