2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · WN66 HWA

The 2016 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT test on 24 September 2025—just 10 months ago—confirms a clean pass with no defects recorded at 67,032 miles. This suggests the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness profile over the past two years, with no recurring advisories or major failures. The absence of defects in both the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates that critical systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust, and structural integrity—have not shown progressive deterioration. However, the duplicate entry for the 2024 test (one pass, one fail at the same mileage) is anomalous and warrants clarification, as it may imply a clerical error or a brief period of non-compliance before correction. The recorded mileage progression of 6,703 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2021 (41,001 miles) and 2022 (49,318 miles) tests—just 11 months—suggests either a temporary increase in mileage or an early MOT renewal. The subsequent interval of 18 months between the 2022 and 2024 tests is standard, but the lack of any advisories or defects during this period implies consistent maintenance. There is no evidence of prolonged inactivity or aggressive driving patterns, though the absence of pre-MOT servicing records means wear on consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components, particularly the suspension—checking for worn coil springs, deteriorated bushes, and binding calipers—alongside the brake system, where corrosion or uneven pad thickness could develop despite no recorded failures. The dual exhaust system should be examined for leaks or structural fatigue, especially near the catalytic converter, while the chassis should be scrutinised for hidden corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills. The 2024 duplicate entry, though resolved, hints at potential oversight; verifying service history for brake fluid changes, differential fluid, and timing belt (if applicable) would further reassure against latent mechanical risks.
