2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YR66 AEM

The Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 83,893 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The 7 December 2024 entry shows a curious failure at 73,627 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass on the same date, suggesting a procedural anomaly or an instant correction by the previous owner. Mileage accumulation aligns broadly with typical use for a 2016 vehicle, averaging 8,389 miles per year. The record reveals a notable gap between the 25 August 2021 test at 58,976 miles and the 9 December 2023 test at 69,926 miles; this two-year, four-month interval implies the car either remained untaxed and off-road or its keeper delayed the annual test. From December 2023 to December 2024 the odometer advanced only 3,701 miles, indicating a period of light use, before a sharper 10,266-mile rise to the 2025 test. Sparse testing and clean sheets point to an owner who kept basic statutory compliance but provided no documented evidence of interim servicing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 83,893-mile age and the lack of MOT advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity concerns in the records does not exempt the chassis from scrutiny; Ford Fiestas of this generation can suffer rear axle rust and sill degradation hidden from tester view. Verify the circumstances of the 7 December 2024 failure with no defects, requesting the DVSA failure notice if available.
