2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LC16 ABV

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 54,266 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. Prior tests on 3 December 2024 at 51,470 miles and 8 December 2023 at 49,473 miles also passed cleanly. The single failure on 8 December 2023 at 49,473 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows a fail with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the record. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 40,465 miles at the 13 December 2022 test to 49,473 miles by December 2023, then to 51,470 miles in December 2024 and 54,266 miles in December 2025. That equates to roughly 5,400 miles per year, well below the national average. The clean sweep of passes with zero advisories suggests the previous keeper carried out basic servicing and avoided neglect, though the low annual accumulation also means prolonged standing periods are plausible, which can accelerate perishing of rubber components and flat-spotting of tyres despite the absent advisories. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age, as MOT testers at these mileages may clear a car without probing hidden chassis rot. The absence of any flagged brake or suspension wear means consumables like coil springs and binding calipers were not queried, but ten years of age warrants checking for weeping dampers and degraded bushes that a clean test need not capture. Verify the 2023 same-day fail-pass was clerical and not a concealed repair.
