2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · JM54 NDO

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT on 20 March 2026 at 45,829 miles resulting in a pass with zero defects. This record indicates a highly stable maintenance trend, as the car has successfully cleared its last three consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory notice. The singular failure recorded on 21 March 2024 at 34,879 miles appears to be a procedural anomaly or a minor administrative error, given that the vehicle passed on the same day with no defects documented. At 45,829 miles over a ten-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 4,580 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. The data shows consistent, light usage patterns throughout the recorded history, with no evidence of long-term storage or excessive periods of inactivity. The minimal mileage accumulation between the April 2023 test at 34,627 miles and the March 2024 test suggests the car has been used primarily for short-distance commuting or local transit. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from low-mileage degradation rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT history is pristine, low usage often leads to seized brake calipers or surface corrosion on brake discs, so check for signs of binding or scoring during a test drive. Inspect the rubber suspension bushes and engine mounts for perishing, as these components can harden and crack over time even when the vehicle is not driven frequently. Verify the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking in the sidewalls, as the low annual mileage means the tread may remain deep long after the rubber compound has begun to deteriorate.
