2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FM16 ETR

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness picture as of its most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 67,235 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the three years of available history. The duplicated fail and pass entries on the same dates in 2024 and 2025, both with no defects logged, point to administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical failure. The mileage pattern sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, with 67,235 miles recorded against an average of roughly 6,724 miles per year. The records show light annual use: the tester logged 55,700 miles on 23 August 2023, 57,105 miles on 22 August 2024, and 67,235 miles on 14 August 2025. The jump of just over 10,000 miles in the final year is the only notable rise, yet still within normal bounds and not concentrated enough to suggest heavy drivetrain or suspension loading. Given the absence of any flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or binding brakes, the DVSA data implies the previous keepers kept basic consumables and emissions in order. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm component life remaining beyond the test day. The duplicated fail-pass pairs on 22 August 2024 and 14 August 2025 at identical mileages suggest the vehicle was presented, briefly failed on paperwork or minor non-mechanical grounds, then cleared the same day. This reflects compliant ownership rather than deferred maintenance. With the last test under twelve months old relative to today's date, the Fiesta remains a low-risk used purchase on the evidence of its MOT record alone.
