2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BJ16 UPL

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-03 shows a pass with several advisories but no critical failures. Key issues included front brake pads wearing thin, a minor exhaust flexi pipe leak, and rear suspension arm bush wear. These are consistent with wear patterns expected in a 10-year-old vehicle with 83,735 miles. Notably, the same advisories appeared in a failed MOT on the same date, suggesting unresolved or recurring concerns. A recurring pattern of suspension bush wear (rear arm pins, axle swivel bushes) and brake pad wear is evident across multiple MOTs. The 2024 MOT highlighted slightly worn rear axle swivel bushes, while the 2025 MOT noted similar suspension issues. These are not critical defects but indicate progressive wear that may require monitoring. The exhaust flexi pipe leak has also reappeared, pointing to a potential ongoing issue with the exhaust system. The trend suggests stability in major safety risks, as no severe defects or failed tests have been recorded in recent years. However, the repetition of similar advisories implies that some components are nearing the end of their service life.
