2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV16 DVM

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the February 2026 test at 67,405 miles, where the tester issued a pass after an initial same-day failure with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of records, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The repeated pass-fail-pass pattern on 27 February 2026 and 28 February 2025 suggests administrative re-tests rather than rectified defects, as both failures recorded zero defects. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2016 registered car, rising from 41,636 miles at the February 2024 test to 53,683 miles in February 2025 and 67,405 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 12,000 miles per year over the recorded period, above the lifetime average of 6,740 but not abnormal for commuter use. The DVSA data shows no gaps beyond the standard annual cycle, and the clean defect history gives little indication of deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT record captures only test-day condition and cannot reveal emerging corrosion or binding calipers. The absence of advisories across all three tests implies previous owners addressed items before they reached the failure threshold, though standing periods between the 2024 and 2025 tests may have allowed underseal degradation on structural members. Given the sparse but clean history, focus the viewing on underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions at cold start. The same-day fail-pass entries in 2025 and 2026 warrant confirmation that no minor defect such as wiper blade condition or tyre tread was temporarily masked for the retest.
