2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · PG16 FVF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean inspection history following a single minor failure. The most recent test conducted in April 2022 at 71,426 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural condition met the required standards at that time. However, as the last recorded test was over four years ago, the vehicle is now significantly overdue for its MOT and requires an immediate inspection to ensure the current condition has not deteriorated. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between April 2019 at 33,346 miles and October 2020 at 62,397 miles, where the car covered nearly 29,000 miles in eighteen months. Since that period of high usage, accumulation has slowed considerably, with only 9,000 miles recorded over the following two years. This shift suggests a period of very intensive driving followed by more sedentary use, which can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or brake corrosion despite low overall mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and suspension geometry, as the failure in October 2020 highlighted exposed cords on the offside front and inner edge wear on the nearside front. While these were rectified, the history of uneven wear often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that may require attention. Given the time elapsed since the last professional check, it is essential to check for brake caliper seizing and inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for rust, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface corrosion when left stationary.
