2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FJ65 GXT

The 2016 Ford Fiesta currently presents a stable and sound mechanical state, holding a valid MOT certificate from its most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 67,231 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without requiring any remedial work. The maintenance trend is firmly resolving, as the record shows a clean sweep of recent assessments with no recurring mechanical faults or advisories. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age. At roughly ten years old with 67,231 miles recorded, the car has averaged approximately 6,723 miles per year, reflecting typical, light usage. Between the February 2024 test at 53,187 miles and the January 2025 test at 59,463 miles, the odometer advanced by 6,276 miles over twelve months. The subsequent year saw a slightly higher accumulation of 7,768 miles, reaching the current 67,231 miles. This pattern suggests consistent, regular driving rather than long periods of inactivity or high-mileage commercial use. A notable anomaly exists in the DVSA record, where the vehicle failed and passed on the exact same dates in both 2024 and 2025, yet both entries list no defects. This discrepancy points toward a procedural or administrative error at the testing station rather than an underlying mechanical failure. Despite this clerical irregularity, the complete absence of genuine mechanical advisories or structural defects is highly positive. When inspecting the car in person, focus on typical wear components consistent with a supermini of this mileage. Examine the tyre condition for uneven tread wear and check the brake discs for scoring or lipping. Assess the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and test the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion. Although the MOT history flags no structural rust, a physical underbody inspection remains prudent to verify the integrity of the sills and floor pans.
