2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YE16 XBV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on June 16, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest report indicates a shift from previously clean records to minor consumable wear. While the car successfully navigated several tests without defects, the appearance of worn tyres on the nearside and offside front suggests that the vehicle is now requiring basic attention despite its low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,583 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between the 2022 test at 9,347 miles and the 2024 test at 11,748 miles, where the car covered only 2,401 miles over two years. This pattern suggests long periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues such as flat spotting, seized brake calipers, or rubber degradation not always fully captured by mileage alone. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the suspension components, following the failure in the June 2023 test at 11,017 miles for a fractured nearside rear coil spring. Although this was repaired to allow a subsequent pass, the low-frequency use of the vehicle means rubber bushings may be perished rather than worn out. The buyer should also check the front tyres for uneven wear, as the 2025 advisory noted both were being worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue.
