2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · RV16 RXR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 with 92,356 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of mechanical neglect in early 2025. While the 2025 test revealed multiple critical failures, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs to bring the car back to legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 8,000 miles between March 2024 and February 2025, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 11,400 miles between February 2025 and April 2026. This increase suggests the car has seen more frequent use recently, which often accelerates the wear on components like the exhaust and suspension linkages that were identified in the service history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front geometry, as the record flagged recurring brake binding issues in 2024 and 2025. The offside rear brake was noted as binding in March 2024, and the offside front followed in February 2025, suggesting a potential tendency for sticky calipers or worn slide pins that may require monitoring. Additionally, since the nearside front track rod end failed for excessive play in 2025, a thorough check of the entire steering linkage for further play is advisable to ensure the repair was effective and that other bushes are not deteriorating.
