2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CV66 MWC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from minor defects to mechanical concerns. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026, it failed immediately prior to that due to offside play in the steering rack inner joints. This indicates that while basic electrical issues like failed bulbs are being addressed, core steering components are now beginning to show wear that requires attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging only 2,400 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the recorded data; between May 2025 and April 2026, the mileage jumped by over 2,700 miles in a short window, yet the latest entry shows a drop to 24,231 miles. This suggests either a clerical error in the official records or a very recent change in usage that contradicts the historical low-mileage pattern. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the steering system, as the rack inner joints have already been flagged for play. Given the low mileage and high age, it is also vital to check for the degradation of rubber components and seals, which can dry out and crack when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Additionally, verify that all exterior lighting and indicators are fully functional, as these have been recurring points of failure in the past tests.
