2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WL16 GDA

The 2016 Ford Fiesta carries a current MOT pass from 18 February 2026 at 33,772 miles, with no advisories or defects recorded against the test. Across five recorded entries, there is a single failure logged on 9 April 2024, which was followed immediately by a pass on the same date, suggesting the issue was rectified at the testing station or the failure was administrative in nature. No defect details are available for that event, limiting interpretation. The trajectory from 2023 through early 2026 shows a stable to improving roadworthiness profile on the official record, with the three most recent tests all returning clean outcomes. Mileage accumulation over the recorded period is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer has moved from an implied figure prior to the April 2023 test through to 33,772 miles at February 2026, an average of roughly 3,400 miles per year. This pattern indicates light usage, periods of standing, or selective driving. While low annual mileage reduces wear on major drivetrain components, extended periods of inactivity can accelerate corrosion on underbody components, brake discs, and suspension bushes through moisture retention and lack of movement. The buyer should weigh this usage pattern against typical corrosion risks for a vehicle of this age. Given the absence of recorded advisories or categorised defects across the MOT history, the data does not point to any recurring mechanical or structural trend. Nevertheless, a prospective buyer should personally verify the condition of brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from standing, inspect suspension components and coil springs for perished bushes, and examine underbody and wheel arch areas for rust given the vehicle's age. Tyres, wipers, and fluid condition should also be checked, as these are not always captured in MOT records when not at failure thresholds. The MOT certificate confirms roadworthiness on the test date only and does not constitute a guarantee of condition thereafter.
