2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SH66 AEM

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 14 May 2025 at 49,653 miles. While the record shows a technical failure logged on the same day as the pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor, immediately rectified issue rather than a mechanical fault. The overall maintenance trend remains stable, with the vehicle achieving consecutive passes since December 2022 without any recorded advisories. The recorded mileage of 49,653 over a ten-year period averages approximately 4,965 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. The data indicates consistent usage patterns, with steady annual increments between May 2023 and May 2025. There are no concerning gaps in the test history that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized brake components, perished rubber seals, or fuel system degradation. The consistent testing intervals point toward a vehicle that has been kept regularly roadworthy. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often deteriorate on lower-mileage vehicles that have spent significant time parked. Although the MOT history is clean, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting that can occur from infrequent use. Examine the underside for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframe mounts, which are common areas for this model. Given the clean test record, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but a visual check of the tyres for age-related cracking remains a prudent step.
