2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SY66 MLK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to emerging mechanical wear. While the car passed its tests between 2022 and 2024 without defects, the August 2025 test at 36,975 miles flagged a newly worn offside front inner tyre nearing the legal limit and slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint. This suggests that components are now beginning to age relative to time despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Data shows consistent, low-frequency usage, moving from 15,908 miles in July 2021 to 36,975 miles by August 2025. This pattern typically implies less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, but long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to rubber-based components degrading or brake seizing, which aligns with the minor issues noted in later tests. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar ball joint identified in 2025 and The axle bushes from 2021. Since the axle bushes showed slight wear four years ago, the buyer should check for further deterioration or visible cracking in the rubber. The uneven wear on the offside front tyre also necessitates a wheel alignment check to ensure there are no geometry issues prematurely consuming a new set of tyres.
