2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · DA65 FYN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection history. The September 2025 test at 59,275 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows a successful retest in October 2024 after a minor failure involving a non-functioning nearside front side repeater. The absence of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests the vehicle is currently maintained to a satisfactory standard. The mileage pattern indicates light usage for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 5,928 miles per year. Between November 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 9,089 miles, which shows a slight increase in annual usage compared to the overall lifetime average. The data remains consistent with a vehicle that is driven regularly but not heavily, reducing the likelihood of excessive wear on high-stress drivetrain components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. The November 2023 failure at 48,985 miles flagged an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. While this was rectified to achieve a pass, it is prudent to check for any subsequent play in the suspension bushes or ball joints. The history also shows a tendency for front tyres to reach legal limits simultaneously, as seen in the 2023 test, which may suggest alignment issues or specific driving habits. Given the low mileage and the clean recent history, the primary concern remains ensuring that the components replaced during the 2023 and 2024 failures were fitted with high-quality parts. A visual check of the front tyre tread and the condition of the suspension components will confirm if the previous maintenance trends have remained consistent.
