Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile, anchored by a clear pass issued on 31 October 2025 at 18,078 miles. The maintenance trend is highly encouraging, showing zero structural or mechanical defects across its most recent examinations. Although the vehicle registered initial same-day test reversals on 31 October 2023 at 15,233 miles and 29 October 2024 at 16,443 miles, these failures yielded no recorded defects on the official certificates. Such administrative rejections typically stem from procedural test cancellation rather than mechanical failures, as evidenced by the immediate clear passes secured the following day in both instances. Averaging roughly 1,800 miles per year over its decade-long life, the vehicle presents extremely low mileage that points to light town use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The odometer progressed steadily from 15,235 miles in November 2023 to 16,450 miles in October 2024, before reaching 18,078 miles by October 2025. This consistent, modest annual accumulation indicates the car was driven regularly enough to prevent severe layup issues, yet spared the heavy motorway commuting or high-stress wear usually seen on fleet vehicles. Prospective buyers should nonetheless inspect the underside and mechanical ancillaries closely during an in-person viewing, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from age-related degradation rather than high-mileage friction wear. Low annual usage often allows brake discs to develop surface corrosion from sitting idle in damp conditions, and rubber components such as suspension bushes, CV boot gaiters, and wiper blades can perish prematurely. Verify the health of the exhaust system and check the tyre date codes to ensure the rubber has not hardened despite adequate tread depth remaining across the board.
