2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LD66 OPB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 73,742 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior involving multiple mechanical and electrical faults. The record shows that components are only being addressed when necessitated by an MOT failure, which indicates a potential lack of regular inspections of wear-and-tear items. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 7,374 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 58,947 miles and October 2025 at 73,742 miles, the car covered 14,795 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress driving, but the low annual mileage can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based components as seen in the perishing tyres noted in the 2024 records. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension and braking system. The October 2025 test flagged an offside track rod end ball joint with play and noted thin front brake pads alongside pitted and scored discs. Because these were identified immediately before a failure, the buyer should verify that the track rod end was actually replaced and that the braking assembly is fresh rather than merely cleaned. The previous failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system also warrants a check to ensure the sensor is fully functional and not merely cleared.
