2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FE16 RVF

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 57,439 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after a minor administrative failure in early 2024. Recorded mileage sits at 57,439 against a ten-year lifespan, an average of roughly 5,744 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 50,291 miles at the March 2023 test, 52,934 at the February 2024 pass, 55,108 by March 2025, and 57,439 in February 2026. Low annual use implies lighter mechanical loading, though extended standing periods can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. The only blemish is the 23 February 2024 failure at 52,926 miles, which listed no defects and was cleared three days later at 52,934 miles, pointing to a paperwork or identification error rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or defects appear across the five tests, so the record gives no direct signal of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural rust requiring attention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts given the car's low-use profile and the risk of moisture trapped during storage. The absent advisory history suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the sparse entries leave consumable condition unverified. Check tyre sidewall age, brake caliper freedom, and exhaust emissions at idle before purchase.
