2016 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · GP16 AED

This 2016 Ford Fiesta has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over its MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive tests. The most recent inspection on 2025-12-05 at 101,359 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues means there is no historical data to assess potential latent faults. The pattern suggests the car has been subject to regular servicing or maintenance that aligns with manufacturer recommendations, though this cannot be confirmed without service records. The lack of advisories or defects also implies that major components—such as suspension geometry, steering linkages, or critical braking systems—have not required intervention between tests. The mileage progression of approximately 10,136 miles annually is typical for a vehicle of this age, with no unusual gaps or spikes in usage. The most notable interval is between the 2022-01-08 test at 55,950 miles and the following 2022-11-17 test at 60,118 miles, a gap of just over ten months covering 4,168 miles. This suggests the car was driven steadily without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could mitigate some wear concerns. However, the absence of any MOT tests between 2022-01 and 2022-11—despite the vehicle being over a year old—means there is no record of intermediate checks during that period. Buyers should verify whether any unrecorded maintenance or repairs occurred during this time. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer’s primary focus should be on components that are not directly tested during the MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. The suspension system, particularly the condition of rear coil springs and bushes, should be inspected for wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points in Fiestas of this age. The brake system warrants close examination, including the condition of rear brake discs and calipers, which are prone to uneven wear or binding—even if not flagged in past tests. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for signs of rust penetration, as this model is susceptible to corrosion in wet conditions. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity, particularly at joints and hangers, should be verified, as leaks or damage can develop silently between MOT intervals.
