2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · PY16 NBE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 66,159 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior due to critical tyre damage where the cords were exposed and a TPMS fault. The recurring nature of tyre-related defects and light-related issues across the last three years suggests that the current owner only addresses components once they reach the point of a test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 46,197 miles and April 2026 at 66,159 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, indicating steady but moderate use. However, the low annual mileage has not prevented the degradation of rubber-based components and metalwork, as evidenced by the perishing tyres and corrosion on brake lines appearing far sooner than mileage alone would suggest. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems due to persistent signs of wear. The tester flagged corroded front brake pipes in both 2024 and 2025, alongside a corroded nearside coil spring and worn axle bushes in 2025. Furthermore, the recorded offside play in the steering rack inner joints from 2025 is a significant mechanical concern that requires verification to ensure the steering precision has not deteriorated. The history of distorted rear wheels and uneven tyre wear in 2024 also points to potential alignment issues that could continue to accelerate the wear of new tyres.
