2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EN66 ACZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy after a retest on 7 January 2026, although the same day a front headlamp dipped beam failure (4.1.1 (a)(ii)) was recorded and subsequently rectified. The maintenance trend shows recurring brake and suspension wear that has persisted rather than resolved, indicating a pattern of incremental deterioration rather than improvement. Mileage has risen from 22 548 mi in January 2020 to 77 857 mi in January 2026, a gain of roughly 55 300 mi over six years. That averages about 9 200 mi per year, slightly above the typical 7 800‑mi annual rate for a six‑year‑old Fiesta. The MOT record is complete with annual tests each January and no gaps in the data. A buyer should inspect the front brake pads for thin wear, check both front brake discs for uneven condition, and test the rear suspension arm bushes or pins for excessive movement. The headlamp dipping function must be confirmed operational, and the nearside front mirror mounting should be examined for looseness. A visual scan for rust around wheel arches, underbody panels, and the exhaust mounting is advisable given the age and mileage. Overall the car remains roadworthy but the history points to wear on consumables and suspension components that have not been fully addressed. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on the braking system, rear suspension, lighting, and corrosion will give a realistic picture of the vehicle’s current mechanical state.
