2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CA65 ULB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean current record following a minor setback. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 79,572 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in early October 2024, the immediate re-test pass just two weeks later suggests that the identified issue was addressed promptly and effectively. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression from 54,846 miles in January 2023 to 79,572 miles by October 2025. There is a notable gap of 12,332 miles between the January 2024 and October 2024 tests, which reflects a period of higher use rather than long periods of standing. This helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seizing associated with inactivity. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the latest two tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that typically wear at this mileage level but may not trigger an MOT failure immediately. Examine the suspension bushes for cracking and the coil springs for signs of corrosion, as these are common points of failure on the Fiesta platform. Check the brake discs for thinness or heavy pitting, as the MOT record does not provide the specific thickness of the friction material.
