2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HX16 ACJ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 7 May 2025 at 67,708 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,771 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, increasing from 55,928 miles in May 2022 to 67,708 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of stagnation that would suggest misuse or neglect. A brief failure on 8 May 2024 at 65,378 miles was resolved within nine days, though the record does not specify the exact fault. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should still perform a physical check of common wear areas for this model. The absence of flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion in the MOT history is positive, but these components often degrade without triggering an immediate failure. Inspect the tyre tread depth and check for any signs of oil leaks from the engine bay. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements align with the mileage growth seen between 2022 and 2025. While the DVSA record shows a mechanically sound car, the MOT is a snapshot of safety rather than a comprehensive health check of the drivetrain. Focus on the condition of the brake pads and the integrity of the exhaust system during a test drive.
