2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · WN16 AAO

The 2016 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-07 at 40,574 miles recording a pass and no defects. Prior tests from 2023-07-21 (32,441 miles) and 2022-10-24 (30,485 miles) also passed without issues. While a 2024-07-12 test at 36,778 miles shows conflicting outcomes (passed and failed on the same date), the absence of recorded defects in subsequent tests suggests no persistent mechanical failures. The vehicle’s maintenance history reflects consistent compliance, with no advisories or critical faults noted. The mileage of 40,574 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 4,057 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age. This low usage implies infrequent operation, which may reduce wear on components like brakes and suspension but could also indicate prolonged periods of inactivity. MOT tests are spaced between 9 to 11 months apart, indicating regular upkeep, though the 2024 duplicate entry (passed and failed on the same date) raises questions about administrative accuracy. No rapid mileage spikes or gaps in testing are evident, suggesting a predictable usage pattern. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, to assess wear from potential low-speed, high-frequency use. Corrosion in underbody areas and exhaust emissions should also be checked, as older vehicles with low mileage may develop hidden issues. While the MOT record shows no critical faults, the lack of recent testing (the last entry is over a year old) means a professional inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s current condition. No structural integrity concerns are flagged, but the low mileage warrants scrutiny of fluid levels and electrical systems, which can degrade during inactivity.
