2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HX16 CPF

The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 47,963 miles returned a clean pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend is stable; the two earlier tests in 2023 and 2024 each recorded a same-day fail followed by a pass with no defects listed, suggesting minor issues were rectified immediately. No recurring faults or structural concerns appear across the history. The recorded mileage of 47,963 miles over roughly ten years equates to under 5,000 miles per year, which is low for a 2016 Ford Fiesta. The annual increments are consistent: from 43,653 miles in October 2023 to 46,304 miles in October 2024, then to 47,963 miles in November 2025. This pattern points to light, regular use rather than prolonged standing or high-mileage stress, though low mileage can mask age-related deterioration on components like suspension bushes and brake discs. A buyer should inspect the braking system for seized calipers or corroded discs, common on cars used for short trips. Check the condition of tyres for age cracking despite adequate tread depth. Examine the underbody for corrosion on suspension mounting points and exhaust components, as structural rust can develop over time even with low mileage. The clean MOT record is reassuring, but a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic is wise to verify the condition of consumables and ageing rubber parts.
