2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BJ16 MVL

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a notably improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on April 14, 2026, at 87,729 miles with zero defects recorded. This clear certificate suggests that previous faults were successfully rectified ahead of the test. Earlier examinations reveal a pattern of deferred upkeep by past keepers, notably failing twice before earning passes in June 2025 and May 2024. The failure on May 14, 2024, at 81,299 miles involved excessive carbon monoxide emissions alongside component security issues, though the emissions failure was resolved rapidly within two days. Cumulative mileage sits at 87,729 miles across roughly ten years of service, averaging approximately 8,770 miles annually. This usage rate aligns closely with typical UK driving patterns for a compact hatchback. Mileage accumulation remained steady between the May 2024 test and the June 2025 test at 86,632 miles, followed by slower accumulation leading to the April 2026 test. The data contains no suspicious gaps in testing history, indicating continuous operation and annual roadworthiness assessments. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of specific recurring trouble spots noted in the record. The battery appeared insecure due to a missing top bracket across multiple tests in May 2024 and June 2025, so verify that the battery clamp is now correctly fitted. Check the underside for the fuel tank and exhaust heat shields, which repeatedly loosened over successive years. Examine the offside rear coil spring, flagged for corrosion in June 2025, alongside the tyre pressure monitoring system and headlamp alignment units which caused a test failure during the same period.
