2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SH16 LWM

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on February 26, 2026, at 70,342 miles resulted in a pass, with no defects recorded. However, the test immediately preceding this, also on February 26, 2026, at the same mileage, failed without any defects noted. This dual outcome suggests a procedural inconsistency rather than a genuine mechanical issue, as both tests were conducted on the same day and at the same mileage. The previous test on March 7, 2025, at 53,578 miles also passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past year and a half. The 2024 test on March 6, 2024, at 41,859 miles also passed without issues, further supporting the conclusion that the vehicle has been well-maintained. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are roughly 12 months apart, with a slight variation in mileage accumulation. For example, between the 2024 and 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 11,719 miles in 11 months, while between the 2025 and 2026 tests, it covered 16,764 miles in 11 months. This suggests a steady increase in mileage, which is typical for a vehicle in regular use. There are no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes that would indicate neglect or heavy use. Given the consistent pass rates and the absence of recurring defects, the vehicle appears to be in good mechanical condition. However, a buyer should inspect the following components in person: the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or damage, the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or excessive wear, and the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion. Additionally, the vehicle's undercarriage should be checked for any signs of structural rust or corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and exhaust tailpipe. Regular maintenance of these components will help ensure the vehicle's long-term roadworthiness.
