2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EK16 ADU

The 2016 Ford Fiesta stands roadworthy after its latest MOT pass on 29 May 2025 at 26,099 miles, and the maintenance trend reads stable across the supplied record. The test on 23 May 2025 at 26,069 miles returned a fail with no defects logged. The six-day gap before the clean pass suggests a procedural anomaly rather than mechanical fault. Tester entries from 2022 through 2024 show consecutive passes with zero advisories, confirming no worsening pattern. Odometer data reveals low yearly mileage for a decade-old hatchback. The car recorded 18,385 miles at the 9 June 2022 test, rose to 20,267 miles by 16 May 2023, then 22,815 miles at the 4 June 2024 examination. That equates to roughly 2,200 miles per annum, dropping slightly to about 3,250 miles over the following eleven months. Sparse yet clean history implies the previous keeper used the vehicle sparingly, likely storing it for extended periods. Buyers should note the complete absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, exhaust emissions issues, or structural corrosion across all five tests. Such a blank slate does not exempt the car from age-related degradation invisible to the MOT lane. We recommend a physical check of underbody structural integrity for corrosion, inspection of tyre tread and sidewall cracking after low-speed storage, and measurement of brake disc run-out following potential seizing. The curious failure entry without recorded defects merits a request for the original test refusal notice from the seller. Previous ownership clearly prioritised minimal use over high load, which typically preserves drivetrain components but can conceal perished rubber mounts. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on fluid contamination and suspension bushes will confirm the paper record translates to sound roadgoing condition.
