2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PF16 LZB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent MOT conducted on 13 June 2025 at 71,253 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical or safety issues have been successfully rectified. While the history shows instances of non-compliance, the clean result of the two most recent tests suggests the vehicle is currently in a sound mechanical state regarding testable items. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage commuter car, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 10,267 miles, which represents a slight spike above the annual average, but it settled back to 9,822 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This low overall mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can increase the likelihood of brake corrosion or perished rubber if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the specific defect codes were not provided in this summary. Given that failures occurred just days before the scheduled tests, they were likely related to easily serviceable consumable items such as bulbs, tyre tread, or minor leaks rather than deep structural rot. You should still manually inspect the chassis for surface corrosion and check the suspension bushes for lateral wear, as these are common points of failure on Fiesta models of this age regardless of mileage.
