2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BA16 AEJ

This 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile based on its MOT record. The most recent test in April 2025 at 94,491 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure with no defects listed. That failure appears to be a technicality or an immediate rectification, not a sign of a systemic problem. The maintenance trend is stable; there are no recurring faults, structural concerns, or mechanical warnings across the four-year history. The recorded mileage of 94,491 miles over roughly ten years gives an annual average of about 9,450 miles, which is typical for a car of this age and class. The mileage accumulation is consistent: the car covered 8,659 miles between May 2023 and April 2024, then 9,181 miles in the following year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that suggest tampering or long periods of inactivity. The pattern points to steady, routine use. Given the absence of any advisories or failures for suspension, brakes, corrosion, or emissions, the car appears to have been maintained to a reasonable standard. However, a pre-purchase inspection should still focus on the usual wear items for a ten-year-old Ford Fiesta: check the rear axle and suspension bushes for deterioration, inspect the brake discs and pads for scoring or thinning, and look for corrosion on the sills, subframes, and brake pipes. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but it does not replace a physical inspection of these components.
