2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · VV61 CAM

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 May 2025 at 76,408 miles. The maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass within two days in both 2024 and 2025. This suggests the vehicle failed due to minor, easily rectifiable compliance items that the previous owner addressed immediately, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining legal standards rather than a trend of escalating mechanical neglect. The mileage progression is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 59,610 miles and the May 2024 test at 68,092 miles, the car covered 8,482 miles, followed by another 8,316 miles recorded in the following year. This steady rate of use suggests regular operation, which is generally beneficial for rubber components, seals, and braking systems as it prevents the corrosion and seizing often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the record shows no major structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, the repeated failures-then-passes on short notice require a physical inspection of the items previously flagged. A buyer should verify that the specific defects corrected, such as light bulbs, wiper blades, or tyre tread depth, were replaced with quality parts. Given the age and steady mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs is advisable to ensure that the mechanical wear has not reached a point that the basic MOT test does not capture.
