2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · UL02 CAM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 30 June 2025 at 56,667 miles which returned no recorded defects. This result indicates that any previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. The overall trend shows a return to clean records following a minor suspension issue, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in maintaining the car to meet inspection standards. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per annum. Between June 2021 and June 2022, the car covered only 5,689 miles, indicating periods of light use or short-term storage. There was a more noticeable increase in usage recently, with nearly 9,000 miles covered between July 2024 and June 2025. While the total mileage remains well below the national average for this age, the low figures suggest short trips, which generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain but can sometimes accelerate the degradation of rubber components. A buyer should focus on the rear suspension components noted during the July 2024 test at 47,791 miles. The tester flagged slightly worn nearside and offside rear outer axle swivel pins and bushes. Although the 2025 test passed without these advisories, a physical inspection is required to ensure these bushes have not developed significant play or perished since. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, the inspector should also check for signs of cracking in rubber bushings and brake hoses, which often occur due to time rather than distance-driven wear.
