2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GL16 OVY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean mechanical record following a single historical failure. The most recent test in November 2025 at 15,487 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets all regulatory standards. This follows a consistent pattern of passes in previous years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained well despite its low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2016 registration, averaging only about 1,500 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the car covered just 516 miles, yet it added 4,414 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This irregular usage suggests that while mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain is likely minimal, the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to specific issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage stationary operation. Long periods of inactivity often result in brake disc corrosion, seized calipers, and degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls. The the record shows no advisories, the 2023 failure at 10,589 miles was resolved quickly to allow a pass, but a thorough check of fluid levels for moisture or perished seals is necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked internal engine neglect.
