2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SE65 VGV

The 2016 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT test on 4 June 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed no defects at 69,466 miles, maintaining a consistent pass history since 2022. The absence of advisories or repeated failures across five tests suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing, though the lack of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test aligns with the 12-month MOT cycle, indicating compliance with legal requirements, but buyers should verify whether the owner has adhered to manufacturer-recommended servicing intervals beyond statutory checks. Mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging around 6,900 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests remains consistent, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest neglect or extended storage. The minor discrepancy in mileage on 24 June 2022 (43,343 vs. 43,345 miles) appears administrative rather than indicative of mechanical issues, reinforcing the record’s reliability. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components not directly tested during MOTs. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Corrosion checks are essential for the subframe, sills, and wheel arches, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT failure. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions systems often fail silently before becoming MOT-relevant.
