2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · NL66 FHM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 130,645 miles passed, it followed a failure just six days prior. That initial failure highlighted multiple critical issues including inoperative tyre pressure monitoring, failed stop lamps, and structurally compromised tyres with cords. The trend remains stable in terms of immediate legality, but suggests the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of failing an official inspection test. At 130,645 miles over ten years, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 13,000 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a passenger car. There is a significant surge in usage between September 2024 (109,284 miles) and October 2025 (130,645 miles), representing over 21,000 miles in just thirteen months. This high rate of accumulation places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, accelerating the wear on consumable parts. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the October 2025 test noted the nearside front tyre was wearing on the inner edge. This typically indicates a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that require attention to prevent rapid further tyre degradation. Given the history of perished rubber and structural tears in 2023 and 2025, the current condition of all four tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking. The high annual mileage also necessitates a thorough check for oil-related leaks and the condition of the brake discs and calipers, which are not detailed in the MOT record but subject to heavy use at this mileage level.
