2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LP16 XAL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on June 3 2026 at 55,842 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following several years of recurring wear-related issues. While previous tests highlighted consistent neglect regarding consumable components, the lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical concerns identified in earlier testing cycles. At ten years of age, the recorded 55,842 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,500 miles. The usage pattern appears consistent over time, with intervals of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles between the annual tests from 2019 through 2026. This low-mile profile typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but the data also indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for periods, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware as seen in the historical records. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of failure, including a fractured offside rear coil spring in 2023 and worn rear axle swivel bushes in 2022. The recurring reports of tyres worn unevenly on edges between 2022 and 2025 suggest potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that require a physical inspection. Additionally, the consistent flagging of thin brake pads and perishing tyres in earlier years indicates a previous pattern of only performing maintenance when failure occurred, so a thorough check of the current brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding is essential.
