2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · ST65 VHH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent MOT test on 24 March 2026 at 46,742 miles. This lack of recorded defects indicates that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This represents an improving trend in vehicle condition, as the car moved from recorded component wear in earlier years to a perfect score in the latest two inspections. At ten years old, the recorded 46,742 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging out to approximately 4,674 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with intervals of roughly 5,000 miles recorded between April 2023 and April 2025. This low mileage typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it increases the likelihood of material degradation in rubber-based parts if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front-end assembly given the documented history of wear in that area. The April 2022 test at 28,384 miles identified slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing, while the April 2024 test flagged perishing and uneven wear on both front tyres. While these issues were likely resolved, a buyer should verify that the wheel bearing remains free of play and check the front alignment for any signs of the previously tyre edge wear. Given the age of the vehicle relative to its low mileage, checking for cracking in suspension bushes and perished seals is prudent to ensure the rubber has not become brittle over time.
