2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FL16 BYY

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 78,369 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 10 July 2023 at 51,103 miles confirms no advisories or mechanical faults have been raised across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,837 miles per year. The tester logged 48,761 miles on 29 October 2022, then 51,103 miles by 10 July 2023, showing light use over that period. A sharper rise to 64,955 miles by 26 June 2024 and on to 78,369 miles by July 2025 indicates annual use climbed to around 13,000 to 14,000 miles. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 26 June 2024 that carried no recorded defects and was immediately superseded by a pass the same day, suggesting an administrative or presentational anomaly rather than a fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any test. The absence of flagged wear across the suspension and braking systems implies previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. A single same-day fail with no defects points to no neglected mechanical risk in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, verify brake caliper operation and tyre condition, and confirm the 2024 duplicate test entry reflects no concealed rectification. Given the clean MOT trail, the Fiesta shows no evidence of recurring fault patterns requiring corrective action before purchase.
