2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · YR04 ARM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑06‑25 at 111,011 miles with no recorded defects, confirming it is currently roadworthy. After a single failure in August 2020 at 48,491 miles—front inner discs corrosion and nearside headlamp aim too low—all subsequent tests have returned passes, indicating an improving maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 11,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a seven‑year‑old car. The first documented test was in December 2019 at 43,363 miles, followed by a five‑month gap before the 2020 test, after which annual inspections have been maintained without interruption. This consistent mileage growth suggests regular use rather than extended periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should inspect the front brake disc condition for signs of corrosion, verify headlamp aim, and examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear. Given the high mileage, tyres, brake discs, and exhaust components merit close scrutiny, as do chassis areas prone to rust, particularly around the front suspension mounting points. A road test should include a check for binding rear brakes and any abnormal pedal feel. Additional consumables such as wiper blades, spark plugs, and fluid levels should be reviewed, and a thorough service inspection is advisable to confirm there are no oil or coolant leaks. The clean MOT history after 2020 demonstrates basic upkeep, yet the earlier corrosion event highlights the need for a detailed examination of the front braking system before purchase.
