2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ML66 DGU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent test in September 2025 at 56,545 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a failure exactly one day prior. This immediate rectification likely indicates an administrative error or a minor component issue that was corrected instantly before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The car has maintained a clean technical record over the last four years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 5,600 miles annually. Between September 2022 and September 2024, the car covered 12,192 miles, showing steady but light usage. The jump of 5,626 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests aligns perfectly with this established annual average. While low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it can sometimes lead to dry seals or the degradation of rubber-based components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to low-mileage neglect. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or rust pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from cleaning themselves effectively. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, which often occurs due to age regardless of the distance driven. Since the record shows no recurring structural rust or mechanical advisories, the chassis appears well-preserved, but verifying the age of the fluids and timing belt remains essential for a vehicle of this vintage.
