2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SF65 ACA

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean mechanical record. The most recent MOT test on 30 May 2025 at 45,665 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior. This isolated failure without recorded defects suggests a minor administrative error or a presentation issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical fault. Since August 2022, the car has consistently passed its inspections without any flagged advisories or failure points. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 29,974 miles and May 2025 at 45,665 miles, the car covered 15,691 miles over nearly three years, indicating a consistent history of short-distance urban use or infrequent trips. This low usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings. However, such low-mileage often implies the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to dry rot in perished rubber despite the low odometer. Because the record shows no advisories for corrosion, binding calipers, or structural integrity, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than distance. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, which are common in low-use vehicles. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for pitting or rust, as infrequent use prevents the surfaces from cleaning themselves. The absence of historical structural rust issues suggests the chassis has likely been kept in a dry environment throughout its life.
