2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EX16 LTN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 59,062 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for pitted front brake discs, a defective fog lamp, and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. While the immediate faults were addressed to pass, the recurring nature of the brake issues suggests the owner only replaces mechanical components when forced by an MOT failure. The mileage of 59,062 is low for a ten-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with 5,300 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 6,600 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This low-use profile often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which aligns with the perishing tyres and scored brake discs noted in the 2024 records. A buyer should closely inspect the front braking system, as the discs have been flagged as worn and pitted in every recorded test since at least 2024. This indicates a failure to replace rotors before they reached the limit of structural integrity. Additionally, the previous failure for an offside track rod end with excessive play in 2024 necessitates a thorough check of the entire suspension geometry to ensure no other steering components or bushings have developed play. Given the report of perishing tyres, the sidewalls should be checked for dry rot, which is common in low-mileage vehicles that may have sat stationary for extended periods.
