Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-04-03 at 43,182 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures across six consecutive annual inspections suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no emerging mechanical concerns. The lack of recurring faults implies the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though the long gap between the last test (15 months) and today’s date may warrant a pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing compliance. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,182 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 4,318 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage aligns with steady mileage progression, as recorded in MOT entries: 34,162 miles in 2022, rising to 38,875 by 2023, and reaching 43,182 by 2025. Notably, the 2023-03-03 test at 38,875 miles preceded a 1,050-mile jump to 39,925 by 2023-05-26, suggesting possible infrequent use or short trips. While the data lacks gaps, the low annual average may indicate periods of inactivity, which could affect components like tyres, brakes, or the exhaust system. A buyer should inspect the suspension for wear, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as prolonged inactivity may cause binding. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be examined for rust, as low-mileage vehicles are sometimes stored in damp environments. The absence of recorded issues is reassuring, but a physical inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT records.
