2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · KC60 REA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record in its two most recent inspections. The February 2026 test at 81,821 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, mirroring the February 2025 result at 79,074 miles. This indicates that any previous mechanical or structural concerns have been addressed or have not progressed to a failing state. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical driver, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The vehicle covered 5,048 miles between February 2025 and February 2026, and 5,504 miles between October 2023 and February 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has not spent long periods stationary, which helps mitigate risks like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The October 2023 test at 73,569 miles highlighted specific areas of concern that required attention. The tester flagged a structural issue regarding corrosion on the rear back box outer skin and a dangerous tyre defect involving a sidewall lump on the nearside rear. While the subsequent passes suggest these issues were resolved, a buyer should still inspect the rear chassis and exhaust area for signs of advancing corrosion. Given the previous mention of corrosion, a physical inspection of the underbody and rear structural integrity is advisable. Checking the condition of the tyres and ensuring no new bulges or sidewall damage have appeared is also necessary. The recent clean history is encouraging, but verifying that the previous corrosion repair remains stable is a prudent step before purchase.
