2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · YC16 MHA

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents a stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 1 July 2025 at 121,137 miles with zero defects recorded. The immediate prior test on 30 June 2025 at the identical mileage shows a failure, yet no defects were recorded, strongly suggesting an aborted test or administrative anomaly rather than a sudden mechanical fault. A clean bill of health at the current mileage confirms the vehicle meets roadworthiness standards without requiring immediate remedial work. The mileage accumulation indicates heavy, sustained use rather than short urban trips. Between the 7 July 2023 test at 78,766 miles and the 28 June 2024 test at 101,044 miles, the car covered over 22,000 miles in a single year. This climbed by a further 20,000 miles to reach 121,137 miles by July 2025. Such high annual mileage accelerates wear on consumables, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components, indicating the lack of recorded defects speaks well of the upkeep, but physical inspection of wear items remains critical. With no recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories logged, the primary concern stems entirely from the high mileage and the anomalous failed test entries. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, coil springs, and suspension bushes, as these components endure significant stress over 120,000 miles. Checking the exhaust system for corrosion and verifying the structural integrity of the underbody will confirm whether this high mileage reflects careful motorway commuting or neglected hard driving.
