2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LM16 DYN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent historical data available. The last recorded test conducted on 21 December 2021 at 52,307 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same day just 270 miles prior. This indicates that any previous mechanical issues identified by the tester were rectified immediately. Since there are no MOT entries recorded since late 2021, the vehicle is currently overdue for its test by over four years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per annum. Between the December 2019 test at 39,051 miles and the December 2020 test at 44,756 miles, the car covered 5,705 miles in a year. While low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake fluid chemistry. The lack of data after 2021 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or experienced a significant decline in formal maintenance consistency. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low usage and age. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and seized calipers, as these frequently fail on vehicles that sit for extended periods. The suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for cracking or perish-related degradation, regardless of the low mileage driven. Given the significant gap in MOT history, a thorough check of the underbody is essential to ensure no hidden structural rust has developed since the last official inspection.
