2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HX16 CTF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT on March 2, 2026, at 26,436 miles which passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This completes a five-year stable maintenance trend where the car has consistently cleared annual inspections since at least 2022. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural failures suggests the vehicle has remained in a good condition without significant neglect. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 2,644 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2024, the car covered only 280 miles, indicating long periods of stationary storage or minimal use. A notable increase in usage occurred between February 2024 and March 2026, where the vehicle clocked 7,714 miles in just over two years. While this reflects low overall wear on the drivetrain and engine, the previous period of inactivity can sometimes lead to age degradation regardless of the mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must physically inspect for components affected by low-mileage storage. Particular attention should be paid to cracking in tyre sidewalls and perished rubber suspension bushes which often occur when a vehicle sits stationary. The brake discs should be checked for pitting or corrosion, as lack of use can prevent rust from clearing effectively. Additionally, checking the fluids for moisture content or contamination is essential to ensure the low usage pattern has not resulted in internal degradation of the engine or braking system.
