2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PX66 NXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in August 2024 at 86,947 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure due to a non-functional stop lamp and a rough offside rear wheel bearing. The advisories from that same pass, involving thin front brake pads, pitted discs, and play in the nearside track rod end, suggest that components are reaching the end of their functional life simultaneously. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 15,917 miles between the August 2023 test at 71,030 miles and the August 2024 test at 86,947 miles, which reflects steady usage patterns. However, the recurring nature of tyre wear warnings across 2022 and 2024 indicates that the owner often waits until tyres are at the legal limit or flagged by a tester before rather than replacing them at scheduled intervals. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with track rod ends and suspension arm bushes. The offside rear wheel bearing flagged in the 2024 failure requires physical verification to ensure it was replaced properly and not merely silenced. Additionally, the history of inner tyre wear noted in 2022 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn geometry that should be checked to prevent premature degradation of any new rubber.
