2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NG65 HVV

The vehicle presents a stable and roadworthy profile based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 21 February 2023 at 27,757 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained trend of perfect scores across the last five years suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained and avoided the mechanical or structural degradation that typically triggers MOT failures in older Ford models. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,776 miles per year. Between January 2019 and January 2020, the car covered only 862 miles, indicating periods of very light use or long durations of storage. A slight increase in usage occurred between January 2022 and February 2023, where the vehicle clocked 2,453 miles in just a 13-month period. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces specific risks associated with a vehicle sitting stationary for extended durations. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage neglect rather than mechanical wear. Check for cracking on tyre sidewalls and perished rubber bushings, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs when calipers are not regularly used to clear away debris. Additionally, verify the chassis for any signs of surface rust on structural points, ensuring that the low mileage has not masked environmental damage from long-term storage.
