2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FH16 STX

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 32,175 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes since at least 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any recorded MOT stage. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old car. The tester logged 10,897 miles on 4 August 2021, rising to 15,226 by 3 September 2022, 21,834 by 2 September 2023, 27,407 by 30 August 2024, and 32,175 by the 2025 test. That equates to roughly 5,000 miles per year in the recorded period, against a lifetime average near 3,200. The clean record shows no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes, though the early life before 2021 remains undocumented. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. Low annual use and possible long stationary periods raise the risk of perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and brake hoses, along with surface corrosion on structural underbody points not yet at test-failure depth. Standing time can also cause flat-spotted tyres and seized brake calipers unseen by the annual test. Check the exhaust system for internal rot and confirm brake disc condition, as light use masks wear rather than preventing it. Verify service history to corroborate the low mileage and establish whether fluids, timing belt, and coolant received interval changes rather than mere MOT compliance.
