2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BS16 AND

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 5 March 2026 at 29,970 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This trend of perfect scores over the last five years suggests a vehicle that has remained in a stable condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or neglected emissions-related issues. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per annum. Between 2022 at 15,037 miles and March 2026 at 29,970 miles, the car covered 14,933 miles. This consistent low usage indicates infrequent short-distance travel, which typically results in less wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components. However, such long intervals between significant use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry rather than mileage-based wear. While the MOT record shows no mechanical faults, a buyer must inspect for specific issues common to low-mileage vehicles. The inspector should check for dry cracking on tyre sidewalls and perished suspension bushes, as rubber elements degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for extended periods without clearing the rotors. Given the low mileage, verifying the age of the timing belt and the condition of the fluids is essential to ensure the engine remains healthy beyond the odometer figures suggest.
