2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LL16 OLN

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The May 2026 test at 24,669 miles recorded no defects, following a similarly clean pass in May 2025 at 22,965 miles. This recent history suggests the vehicle has moved past previous minor issues regarding external components and consumables. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 2,467 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval driving, with the mileage increasing steadily from 9,127 miles in May 2019 to the current 24,669 miles. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the long periods between significant mileage increases can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components. Historical records show a tendency for minor consumable issues rather than serious mechanical or structural failures. The November 2022 test flagged thinning front brake pads and perishing tyre edges on the rear axle, which are typical for a vehicle that may sit idle for periods. A failure in November 2020 due to a cut tyre cord demonstrates that basic upkeep was occasionally overlooked, though the issue was resolved immediately. The February 2024 test noted a defective fog lamp lens and a deteriorated registration plate, both of which were minor non-safety-critical items. A prospective buyer should focus on inspecting rubber components such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and engine mounts to ensure they have not perished due to the low annual mileage. Although the recent MOTs are clear, checking the condition of the brake discs and pads is advisable given the thin pads noted in 2022. The current lack of advisories suggests the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained state, but verifying the integrity of all seals and hoses is a prudent step for a low-use vehicle of this age.
