2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · FL16 EBV

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status following the most recent DVSA test on 6 March 2026 at 121,155 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. Two earlier entries on 19 February 2024 and 6 March 2026 list a fail directly followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileages, but the records show no defects recorded for either failure, indicating administrative or presentational anomalies rather than genuine mechanical rejection. The odometer reads 121,155 miles against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 12,116 miles per year. This is high for a Fiesta of this age and points to consistent daily use rather than long dormant periods. Mileage stepped from 109,743 in February 2024 to 117,196 by February 2025, then to 121,155 by March 2026, reflecting steady annual accumulation near the vehicle's average. The sparse record shows four passes and two same-day fails, all with zero defects logged, so no consumable wear or structural concern is evidenced in the data itself. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the elevated mileage and urban driving profile typical of this model. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emission advisories in the MOT record is favourable, but ten years of use at over 12k miles yearly warrants checking for worn steering joints and undertray rust not captured by the test. The same-day fail-pass pairs at 109,743 and 121,155 miles suggest the previous owner addressed any pre-test issue promptly or the failures were clerical. No trend of skipped upkeep emerges. Verify the service history matches the mileage and confirm no hidden structural repairs sit behind the clean advisories.
