2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ND16 AFZ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 72,745 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced an advisory for a worn nearside rear axle bush. This represents a minor shift from the clean records seen in previous years, but indicates the beginning of typical wear and tear on the suspension components rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 44,541 miles in November 2021 to 72,745 miles by June 2025. The interval between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows a jump of 9,061 miles, suggesting the car sees regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of brake-related hardware. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension assembly to address the nearside axle bush flagged in the 2025 test. While this was an advisory, worn bushes can eventually lead to unpredictable handling or uneven tyre wear if not replaced. Given the lack of recorded structural defects or brake failures in the history, the chassis integrity appears to be well-maintained, but a check for surface corrosion on the subframe remains standard practice to ensure the clean MOT history reflects a lack of hidden rust.
