2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SA16 LRO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on August 14, 2025, 62,689 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable after a brief period of volatility in July 2025. While the car failed earlier that month due to a major exhaust leak and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, these issues were rectified quickly to secure subsequent passes. This suggests the previous owner was responsive to safety-critical failures rather than allowing defects to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a notable cluster of activity recorded between March 2024 at 50,111 miles and July 2025 at 62,674 miles, where the car covered nearly 12,500 miles in just sixteen months. The consecutive tests in July 2025, separated by only one day, likely indicate rapid retest immediately following the failure. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples of similar age. A buyer should physically inspect the exhaust system to ensure the major leak identified in July 2025 was properly repaired rather than merely patched. Given the failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system, verify that the dashboard does not display any warning lights during operation. Because the vehicle sits for long periods between tests, check rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyres for signs of cracking or dry rot which often affect low-mileage cars. Inspect the chassis for surface corrosion to ensure structural integrity remains sound despite the decade-old age.
