2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BG66 HCD

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 7 October 2025 at 33,704 miles passing without any defects. This aligns with the previous three tests—27 September 2023, 2 October 2024 (passed), and an anomalous duplicate entry on the same date—all of which also cleared with no advisories or failures. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been well maintained in critical areas, though the duplicate failed-pass entry on 2 October 2024 raises minor procedural concerns. No trends of deterioration in structural integrity, brakes, or emissions are evident, and the clean history implies no major mechanical neglect. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation is unusually low for its age, averaging just over 3,300 miles per year since 2016. Between 2022 (24,378 miles) and 2025 (33,704 miles), the Fiesta covered 9,326 miles in three years—a pace that could indicate infrequent use, storage periods, or a secondary/leisure vehicle. The gap between the 2023 test (27,158 miles) and the 2024 tests (30,955 miles) suggests a brief but steady period of use before another pause. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain, but it may also mask hidden issues if fluids or consumables were neglected during inactivity. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. While no defects were recorded, the suspension—particularly the bushes, coil springs, and dampers—should be checked for stiffness or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles can still develop hidden fatigue. Brakes, though not flagged, warrant inspection for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, especially if the car has sat unused for extended periods. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be examined closely, as rust can develop even with minimal mileage if the vehicle was exposed to moisture or salt. Finally, ensure all fluids—brake, coolant, and power steering—are topped up and free of contamination, as stagnant fluid can degrade seals and components over time.
