2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LD66 OPW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear worsening pattern regarding consumable management. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 52,832 miles passed, the tester flagged multiple advisories related to tyre wear and physical damage across three tyres. This represents a significant decline from the clean records of 2022 and 2023, indicating that the owner is now delaying routine replacement of essential components. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,283 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the years, moving from 28,649 miles in November 2021 to 52,832 miles by late 2025. This low-frequency usage often prevents mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, but it also explains the degradation of rubber-based components, as seen with the cracking and perishing of the nearside front tyre in the 2025 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and suspension geometry, as recurring advisories for tyres worn on the edges suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The presence of perishing rubber on the front tyres indicates the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to dry rot in the sidewalls. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from brake oxidation due to insufficient heat cycles to clear the rotors.
