2016 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · YC16 MFO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on January 10 2026 at 47,454 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a clean record sheet across five consecutive inspections. This lack of failures suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that mechanical components are currently operating within acceptable parameters as defined by DVSA standards. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,745 miles per year. Between May 2021 and May 2022, the car covered 7,619 miles, indicating a period of relatively higher use. However, a significant drop in usage occurred between May 2022 and October 2024, where only 5,64 miles were recorded in twenty-nine months. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components, it increases the risk of age-related rubber degradation and brake corrosion if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a buyer should focus on inspecting areas susceptible to low-mileage use rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or rust which often occurs when cars are not used frequently to clear the oxidation. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for sidewall cracking or rot, as these materials age based on time regardless of the low mileage recorded on the odometer.
