2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · C29 ALE

This 2016 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable overall roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass on 12 January 2026 at 83,565 miles with zero defects recorded. This most recent test followed a formal failure just two days prior on 10 January 2026, though the record notes no specific defects for that failure, which often indicates an administrative rejection or a minor rectification such as a blown bulb corrected immediately on site. A similar pattern occurred on 12 January 2024, where an initial failure preceded a same-day pass, while the intervening test on 10 January 2025 passed cleanly on the first attempt. The vehicle has accumulated 83,565 miles over roughly ten years, averaging approximately 8,356 miles annually, which aligns closely with typical UK driving patterns for a compact hatchback. Mileage progression between consecutive annual tests shows consistent, measured use without prolonged periods of inactivity or extreme high-mileage accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain wear. Because the historical record contains no recurring advisory notices for structural corrosion, brake degradation, or suspension play across these tests, the previous owners appear to have maintained the vehicle adequately. Despite the clean test sheets, a physical inspection should prioritize the primary mechanical consumables and high-wear areas typical of this platform. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the operation of the brake calipers, since low-mileage urban use can occasionally lead to premature scoring or binding. Inspect the coil springs, suspension bushes, and rubber gaiters for signs of perishing or fatigue, and verify that the exhaust system and subframe mountings remain free from excessive oxidation.
