2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ML16 KLF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift from a clean history to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in March 2026 at 71,047 miles flagged several advisories related to tyre condition and rear axle artwork pins/bushes. This represents a departure from the three consecutive defect-free tests recorded between 2022 and 2025, suggesting that components are now entering a phase of degradation that requires way attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. Between March 2022 at 37,636 miles and March 2026 at 71,047 miles, the car covered 33,411 miles, showing a steady and predictable accumulation. While the low annual mileage reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine, the longer intervals between services can sometimes lead to age-related perish of rubber components and fluid degradation, irrespective of the short distance travelled. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the most recent advisory noted wear on the rear axle swivel pins and bushes. This condition can lead to handling instability and uneven tyre wear if not addressed. Furthermore, the nearside and central front tyres were noted as being near the legal limit and showing edge wear, indicating a potential alignment issue or simply the end of their service life. Given that front brake pads were already thin in 2023, the remaining life of the current pads and discs should be verified to ensure they are not scoring the rotors.
