2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EK66 OPS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on February 23, 2026, at 39,365 miles which passed with no defects recorded. This follows a period of clean passes in previous years, suggesting the car has been maintained to passing standards. The lack of recurring advisories in the latest tests indicates that the previous owners likely addressed any minor issues before they reached a failure threshold. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between October 2022 at 24,441 miles and October 2023 at 32,240 miles, where the car covered nearly 8,000 miles in a single year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the infrequent use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as perished brake hoses or seized caliper calipers, which the MOT does not fully capture unless a failure occurs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related degradation associated with low-mileage use. Although the MOT history is clean, the tester should check for surface corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as these elements deteriorate over time regardless of distance driven. Given the brief failure in October 2023 just six miles before a successful pass, it is worth verifying the current condition of the suspension bushes and tyre age to ensure no immediate mechanical attention is required despite the vehicle's age.
