2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DN16 RVY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight shift toward reactive maintenance. While the car passed its January 2026 test at 67,408 miles, it initially failed due to non-functional rear stop lamps and corroded front brake discs. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass suggests the owner responds to MOT failures, but the appearance of worn brake discs indicates that components are only being replaced once they reach a point of failure rather than on a proactive preventative schedule. The recorded mileage of 67,408 miles on this ten-year-old Fiesta reflects a consistent usage of approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK commuting patterns. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 9,300 miles in the following thirteen months leading up to the latest test. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally helps prevent rubber components from degrading and brake components from seizing. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension, as records from January 2023 and December 2023 both flagged worn rear axle swivel pins and frame bush deterioration. While these did not reappear in the clean 2024 test, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the rear assembly is reaching a significant wear phase. A physical inspection for clunking over bumps or uneven tyre wear is necessary. Given the recent pitting and scoring on the front discs noted in early 2026, the buyer should verify the current condition of the replacement discs and ensure the pads are not already thinning or glazed.
