2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · WR16 AEO

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 12 May 2025 at 36,740 miles recording no defects. The test history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across five consecutive annual examinations. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage with no defects recorded points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical concern, and the vehicle cleared the pass later that day. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 24,894 miles in February 2022, rising to 26,557 by February 2023, 30,094 by February 2024, and 36,740 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 3,600 miles per year, confirming light use. The sparse, clean ledger with no flagged wear on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory testing but the low figures also imply long stationary periods between runs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. Standing vehicles commonly develop seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on sills and subframes even when MOT advisories stay empty. The coil springs and suspension mounts warrant hands-on checks for perishing rubber given the age if not the miles. Given the absence of recorded faults, no recurring defect pattern emerges to warn against the purchase. The clean pass sheet and low annual distance imply careful or infrequent use, though pre-sale examination of brake function after prolonged idle remains prudent.
