2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GV65 YBJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than way approach to repairs. In the most recent test on 14 April 2026 at 74,126 miles, the car initially failed artwork to multiple defects including a non-functional nearside stop lamp, an illegible rear registration plate, and a nail in the offside rear tyre. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the recurring nature of failures across consecutive years suggests that basic equipment maintenance is only addressed when necessitated by an inspection appointment. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between April 2024 at 54,478 miles and April 2025 at 64,502 miles, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles, followed by another 9,624 miles in the final year. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been used for regular commuting, which generally prevents the internal degradation of rubber seals and mechanical components compared to cars left stationary for long periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the exterior lighting and glass assemblies, as the record shows repeated issues with stop lamps and windscreen stone chips. The 2024 test noted a slightly distorted nearside front road wheel, which warrants a check for vibration at road speed or uneven tyre wear that could indicate suspension misalignment. Furthermore, the failure in 2025 due to a tyre tread depth below the legal limit indicates that consumable management may be inconsistent; therefore, the remaining life and matching brands of all four tyres should be verified to ensure they do not require immediate replacement.
