2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DV16 XMM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent test in June 2025 at 70,584 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years, as the tester previously flagged recurring wear-related defects that now appear addressed. The absence of any advisories in the latest report suggests that the previous owner has rectified the mechanical issues that had been accumulating in earlier inspections. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between December 2020 and February 2022, during which the car covered roughly 7,800 miles. Since 2022, the usage has remained steady, with approximately 7,000 miles being recorded between each annual test interval. This regular usage is generally positive for preventing the brake seizing and seal degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear sub-frame, as the tester repeatedly flagged worn pins and bushes in both 2022 and 2023. While the 2025 test showed no further issues, the structural integrity of these components warrants a check for excessive corrosion or play in the mounting points. Additionally, the front brake system was flagged for thin pads and pitted discs in 2023 and 2024; verifying that these parts were replaced with high-quality components rather than merely adjusted is essential to ensure the continued reliability of the braking system.
