2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · MW66 FGF

The 2025‑11‑14 MOT at 102,439 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards. Since the 2023 failure at 90,834 miles, which cited excessive play in the off‑side track‑rod end ball joint and perishing rear tyres, the subsequent 2024 and 2025 tests show that the identified faults have been remedied and the car has maintained a stable condition. The mileage progression from 84,444 miles in November 2022 to 102,439 miles in November 2025 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 5,000 miles, consistent with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old Fiesta. There are no anomalous gaps; each successive test covers an additional 5,000‑plus miles, indicating regular use and documented maintenance rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore focus on the components repeatedly flagged: the rear suspension bushes and swivel pins, which showed slight wear in 2022 and may have contributed to the 2023 ball‑joint play; the rear tyres, whose perishing condition in 2023 suggests possible alignment or suspension issues that should be re‑checked; and the braking system, as the 2022 record noted thin front brake pads and worn, pitted discs, indicating that pad replacement and disc inspection are advisable. Visual inspection for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and chassis, is also recommended given the tyre perishing history.
