2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HX16 ABZ

This Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 February 2026 at 101,251 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last several years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 12,367 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, and a further 2,139 miles leading up to the February 2026 test. The average of roughly 10,125 miles per year indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The MOT history is unusually clean for a ten year old vehicle. The failure on 14 February 2025 was resolved within eight days, and the lack of advisories across multiple years is rare for this model. While the records show no flagged issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, a buyer should still manually check for underbody corrosion and oil leaks. These structural and fluid issues often exist without triggering an MOT failure until they become critical. Given the mileage has now exceeded 100,000, a physical inspection should focus on drivetrain wear and consumable life. Check the condition of the clutch and the service history for timing belt or chain replacement, as these are high-mileage maintenance items not captured by a standard MOT test. Verify the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads to ensure they have not been left to wear down to the legal limit.
