2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CP65 OXZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs and structural degradation. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 120,995 miles passed, it followed a failure just one mile prior for multiple electrical faults and structural issues. The persistence of worn rear sub-frame pins and bushes alongside damaged mounting areas across the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates ongoing structural wear that is being monitored as an advisory rather than being fully rectified. At 120,995 miles, this Ford Fiesta has covered a significant distance for its age, averaging approximately 12,100 miles annually. Data shows consistent high usage, with over 19,000 miles clocked between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 13,000 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This high mileage places considerable stress on wear components and the drivetrain, which is evidenced by the recurring failures of ball joints, brake pads, and suspension bushes noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame. The tester repeatedly flagged the offside rear mounting area and worn pins, which suggests advancing corrosion or mechanical fatigue that could eventually compromise the structural integrity of the chassis. You should also inspect the front suspension arms, specifically noting the 2025 failure for an excessively worn nearside ball joint, and the 2024 advisory regarding worn axle swivel pins and bushes on both re. The mechanical and electrical history also shows a lack of proactive attention to basic maintenance, with repeated failures for stop lamps, headlamps, and registration plate lights. The previous report of an oil leak from the front filter and low coolant levels in 2024 requires a modern check to ensure these issues have not worsened or been ignored. Given the high mileage and recurring suspension advisories, the vehicle likely requires significant investment in rubber bushings and components to ensure long-term reliability.
