2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DS66 OGH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable items. In the most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 26,449 miles, the car passed despite the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a pattern from November 2024 at 24,650 miles, where the nearside front tyre suffered from a nail and similar edge wear, indicating a consistent neglect of tyre management despite the low overall usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,645 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 18,252 miles and November 2025 at 26,449 miles, the car covered only 8,197 miles over four years. While this low mileage typically suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of corrosion on exposed metal surfaces when the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry, as the recurring edge wear noted on front tyres in both 2024 and 2025 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the 2023 test at 23,161 miles identified a corroded offside rear coil spring, which necessitates a physical check for further structural rust on the chassis and spring mounts. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to inspect the artwork discs and calipers for pitting to ensure they have not seized or degraded due to lack of use.
