2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GD66 JCY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 10 September 2025 at 60,507 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor mechanical issues that appear to have been addressed. The record shows a transition from failing tests in 2020 and 2022 to a consistent passing trend in the last three years. While the vehicle has experienced component failures in the past, the current status suggests the previous faults were rectified. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 36,105 miles in December 2019 to the current 60,507 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals, as the annual tests have been conducted consistently between November and December each year, with the exception of the most recent test in September 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the suspension system. The 2020 test at 39,874 miles flagged a fractured offside rear coil spring, and the 2022 test at 44,817 miles identified a fractured nearside rear coil spring. Although these were passed in subsequent years, the recurring nature of spring failures warrants a check for any signs of corrosion or fatigue on the remaining springs. The 2024 test at 55,540 miles noted that the rear axle bushes were starting to delaminate. While the 2025 test showed no defects, the delamination of bushes is a progressive issue that may require monitoring or replacement in the near future. Wheel alignment and tyre wear patterns also merit attention. The 2022 failure highlighted uneven tyre wear on both the offside front and nearside front tyres, which typically indicates a tracking or camber issue. Although no such advisories appeared in the 2023, 2024, or 2025 tests, a buyer should inspect the current tyre tread patterns to ensure the suspension geometry remains within specification and that no new alignment issues have developed.
