2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FV65 UKR

The vehicle has an overall roadworthiness status of Pass, but the maintenance history indicates a distinct pattern of issues that require immediate professional attention rather than routine servicing. The most recent MOT test on 2026-02-16 at 77,371 miles was passed, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and usage profile. However, the failure to pass the MOT on 2024-04-11 at 58,486 miles highlights a critical gap in the record, suggesting that a significant portion of the vehicle's history was either skipped or the owner failed to attend the inspection. The subsequent MOTs on 2023-04-05 and 2024-04-11 were also passed, indicating that the vehicle has not suffered catastrophic structural failure since the 2026-02-16 test, although the 2024-04-11 failure reveals specific wear patterns that necessitate inspection. The mileage trend suggests that while the vehicle has maintained a relatively low total mileage of 77,371 miles over ten years, this is not a reliable indicator of current condition. The rapid accumulation of miles between 2024-04-11 and 2026-02-16, combined with the failure to pass the MOT, implies that the owner may have been driving the vehicle at high speeds or in poor weather conditions during the 2023-2024 period. The fact that the most recent test was conducted at 77,371 miles, which is near the legal limit, suggests that the vehicle has not been driven to exceed its annual mileage threshold, but the history of failure to pass the MOTs indicates that the vehicle has not been serviced correctly or that the owner has not maintained a proper record of the vehicle's condition. In conclusion, the buyer should not proceed with the purchase without verifying the specific wear patterns and mechanical integrity of the vehicle. The recurrent failure to pass the MOTs, particularly the 2024-04-11 test, indicates that the vehicle has suffered from issues such as worn tyres, binding brakes, or structural defects that are not covered by standard MOT checks. A thorough inspection is required to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as well as to evaluate the wear on the tyres and wiper blades. Given the history of passing the MOTs on 2023 and 2024, the vehicle has been drivable for some time, but the 2024-04-11 failure warrants a detailed mechanical assessment to determine if the vehicle is safe to drive or if it requires immediate professional repair.
