Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and well-maintained mechanical profile based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 95,029 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that point. The consistent pattern of clean passes across five consecutive annual tests suggests diligent routine maintenance and no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage accumulation of roughly 9,500 miles per year aligns with typical use for a vehicle of this age. The recorded intervals show steady progression: 61,013 miles in August 2022, 72,175 miles in August 2023, 84,902 miles in August 2024, and 95,029 miles in August 2025. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests covers approximately 10,127 miles over twelve months, which is consistent with the prior annual intervals. No unusual spikes or prolonged stationary periods are evident from the data. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. The absence of advisories or failures does not guarantee the absence of wear. At 95,029 miles, consumable components such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes are likely approaching replacement age regardless of MOT outcomes. A test drive should assess for any emerging brake drag, uneven tyre wear, or suspension knocks that may not yet meet the MOT failure threshold. Structural corrosion around sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points warrants close visual inspection, particularly on a ten-year-old vehicle that may have spent periods stationary or exposed to road salt. The duplicate entry for 28 August 2024 showing both a fail and a pass at nearly identical mileage suggests a retest following a minor rectification, which is not uncommon and does not indicate a systemic issue.
