2016 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · J3 HGO

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 56,351 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations. The vehicle shows no escalating faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 56,351 against roughly ten years of age, an average of about 5,635 miles per year and distinctly low for a supermini of this era. The DVSA entries step cleanly from 35,852 miles on 29 November 2022 to 43,147 miles on 5 December 2023, then 50,251 on 11 December 2024, and 56,351 on 12 December 2025. Annual accumulation stays near 7,000 miles with no abrupt jumps. Low use of this kind often means long stationary periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen despite a clear MOT sheet. The history carries one anomaly worth noting. On 5 December 2023 the tester issued a fail at 43,147 miles, yet logged no defects, before a pass on the same date at the same mileage. Such a duplicate entry usually reflects an administrative retest or data error rather than a mechanical fault, and no advisories followed. The owner clearly kept the car to a disciplined yearly test schedule with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts given the low mileage and likely idle spells. Check brake discs for surface pitting from standing, verify coil springs and bushes remain crack-free, and confirm the exhaust has no hidden rust. The MOT record itself gives no cause for rejection, but paper cleanliness on a lightly used car does not certify mechanical condition at the roadside.
