2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ET16 AWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The latest test in September 2025 at 104,761 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for incorrect headlamp aim and a worn nearside front tyre. While the vehicle is currently legal, the recurring nature of consumable failures suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they threaten an MOT certificate rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 104,761 miles, this ten-year-old Fiesta has averaged approximately 10,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for its age. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 11,000 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent internal corrosion of braking components and suspension components. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension and braking system due to the history of recorded faults. The 2024 failure for a hydraulic leak at the banjo connection on the offside caliper indicates a need to inspect all brake lines and hoses for weeping or perished rubber. Furthermore, the repeated advisories regarding tyres worn on the edge in 2023 and 2025 point toward a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that are causing uneven tyre wear. A physical inspection of the front ball joints and a geometry check are necessary to ensure these issues have been fully resolved.
