2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PY16 LXV

The 2026‑03‑11 MOT at 45,271 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record across the vehicle’s history. The mileage of 45,271 at ten years of age equates to roughly 4,500 miles per annum, a figure below the typical usage for a 2016 model and suggesting limited annual driving and likely periods of standing; mileage rose steadily from 39,397 miles in March 2024 to 42,265 miles in March 2025 and then to 45,271 miles in March 2026, with no abrupt jumps or extended intervals between tests. A buyer should therefore focus on the vehicle’s suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or cracking, examine the condition of the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion that could compromise structural integrity; the exhaust system should also be assessed for excessive smoke or leaks, while tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, though consumable, merit verification. Overall, the absence of recorded defects across four consecutive annual tests points to diligent upkeep, yet a physical inspection remains essential to confirm that the low mileage has not masked underlying fatigue in critical components.
