2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LT66 UOB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred attention regarding minor components. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 59,253 miles resulted in a failure due to a nearside dipped beam bulb and tyre-related defects. While the car passed immediately upon retest, the recurring presence of damaged nearside rear tyres and a deteriorated registration plate suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten to cause an MOT failure. At 59,253 miles over ten years, this Fiesta has covered significantly low mileage, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per annum. The mileage progression is consistent across annual tests, moving from 54,897 miles in September 2024 to 59,253 miles in September 2025. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber-based components degrading due to age rather than use, which explains the persistent cracking and per of the nearside rear tyre recorded across three separate testing years. A buyer must focus inspection on the braking system and structural integrity points. The September 2022 test at 46,991 miles flagged a binding front caliper and indicated that both axle brakes only marginally met requirements, alongside a damaged rear reinforcement bar. Although these issues do not appear in later tests, the history of binding brakes suggests a potential for seized calipers or uneven wear on the discs. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check of the rear reinforcement bar for corrosion or impact damage is essential to ensure the previous fault has not progressed into structural failure.
