2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU16 ORZ

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 February 2026 at 51,224 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage of 51,224 against a ten-year-old car equates to roughly 5,122 miles per year, indicating light use. The records show steady annual accumulation: 42,433 miles on 27 February 2023, rising to 46,653 by 4 March 2024, 49,481 on 1 March 2025, and 51,224 on 28 February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA entry for 27 February 2023 lists both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects cited, a likely administrative duplication rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. With four consecutive passes showing no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the history implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current and the car avoided standing neglect. Low annual mileage reduces strain on consumables and drivetrain components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers for seizing after low-use periods, check coil springs and subframe mounts for age-related fatigue, and confirm underbody structural integrity for hidden rust. The clean MOT trail does not exempt the car from wear invisible to the test bay.
