2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · RO16 BAA

The 2016 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy, with the most recent 2026-01-14 MOT confirming no defects at 45,018 miles. Maintenance trends show stability over the past three years, as all subsequent tests from 2023 to 2025 passed without issues. The single 2024-01-12 failure at 37,071 miles recorded no defects, suggesting it may have been a procedural error or minor non-compliance resolved before retesting. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the history, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,018 miles at 10 years old equates to approximately 4,502 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might affect components like tyres, batteries, and fluid systems. The MOT record shows regular testing every 12 months, with no gaps exceeding 14 months, reflecting a responsible maintenance schedule. However, the absence of defects in all tests since 2023 suggests the car has not experienced critical wear despite its low mileage. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these can degrade without frequent use. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was stored for extended periods. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for rust, as low mileage does not always correlate with structural integrity. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the vehicle’s age and usage pattern warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm components remain functional.
