2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · ET65 EVX

The 2016 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy, with a stable maintenance trend confirmed by five consecutive MOT passes from 2022 to 2026. The most recent test on 2026-01-05 at 22,124 miles recorded no defects, aligning with prior results. No recurring issues or advisories appear in the history, suggesting consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mechanical systems, including brakes, suspension, and emissions, have met legal standards without flagged concerns. The mileage of 22,124 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 2,212 miles annually, a low figure that implies infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT records show steady annual increments, with 1,947 miles added between 2022-02-03 (16,280 miles) and 2023-02-02 (18,227 miles), followed by 1,433 miles by 2024-01-22 (19,660 miles). This pattern suggests the car may have been stored for extended periods, potentially affecting components like tyres, batteries, and suspension bushes. No rapid wear or anomalies are evident, but the low mileage warrants scrutiny of age-related degradation. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, particularly bushings and coil springs, which may deteriorate without regular use. Check for corrosion around the chassis and exhaust system, as stagnant vehicles are prone to rust. Verify tyre condition, as low mileage can mask uneven wear or dry rot. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, the car’s age and mileage profile necessitate a thorough assessment of fluid levels, battery health, and steering alignment to confirm its mechanical integrity.
