2016 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · GD65 EKB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on 25 January 2025 at 76,840 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. While the record shows initial failures on the same dates in previous years, the subsequent clearances suggest that any identified issues were rectified immediately prior to the passes. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a ten year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,684 miles per annum. Between February 2023 at 62,845 miles and February 2024 at 68,117 miles, the car covered 5,272 miles, followed by a more active period of 8,723 miles between February 2024 and January 2025. This suggests regular driving habits rather than long periods of stationary storage, which generally benefits the health of seals and drivetrain components by preventing dry-rot and internal corrosion. Given the lack of recorded advisories or mechanical failures, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common Ford Fiesta wear points. Focus on the condition of the front suspension bushes and the rear coil springs, as these often show degradation before they trigger an MOT failure. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or excessive scoring, as the MOT record does not explicitly rule out binding calipers or thinning pads. Since the last test was over eighteen months ago, verifying the current tyre tread depth and fluid levels is essential to ensure no neglect has developed since the most recent certification.
