2016 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · EO66 YJV

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving mechanical picture at its most recent MOT. The August 2025 test at 61,267 miles passed with zero defects, a clean sheet that contrasts sharply with the cluster of advisories recorded in the two preceding years. This suggests the previous owner addressed the flagged items promptly, and the vehicle is currently in sound roadworthy condition with no outstanding wear or structural concerns noted by the tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a ten-year-old supermini. The car covered roughly 5,727 miles between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests, following a similar pace of around 10,934 miles in the prior twelve-month period between 2023 and 2024. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the record that would indicate long periods of disuse or odometer anomalies. The annual average of approximately 6,127 miles sits squarely within typical use, meaning wear on consumables and mechanical components should be proportionate and predictable rather than excessive. Despite the clean 2025 result, the recurring pattern of front tyre wear between 2023 and 2024 warrants closer physical inspection. Both front tyres were flagged for inner edge wear in consecutive years, a classic symptom of worn suspension bushes, tired coil springs, or incorrect front-end tracking and alignment. A buyer should jack the front end and check for play in the lower arm bushes, anti-roll bar links, and track rod ends, while also examining the inner sidewalls of the current tyres for any sign of the same uneven wear pattern returning. The rear brake discs and pads were also flagged as worn and pitted in the 2024 test, so a visual check of the rear braking system for lipping, scoring, and pad thickness remains sensible even though the 2025 pass implies replacement.
