2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU16 AYP

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 July 2025 at 64,480 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior three annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 24 July 2024 at 56,956 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded against that test, indicating an administrative or process failure rather than a mechanical fault. No recurring advisories or worsening conditions appear across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 43,637 miles at the 2 August 2022 test, rising to 50,475 by 28 July 2023, then 56,956 by 24 July 2024, and 64,480 by 21 July 2025. That equates to roughly 6,400 to 7,500 miles per year with no sudden jumps or prolonged standing gaps. The clean test history across this low-to-moderate annual mileage suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable wear within test limits, though the sparse advisory data gives limited insight into underlying component condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the unexplained 2024 failure entry. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags in any test is favourable, but MOT passes with no defects recorded do not confirm the state of exhaust emissions components or hidden rust on sills and subframes. Verify the 24 July 2024 failure cause with the DVSA portal before purchase, as the missing defect data prevents a full mechanical conclusion from the record alone.
