2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YR66 AON

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed in March 2026, it failed just two weeks prior due to an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system and excessive carbon monoxide emissions. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they result in an MOT failure. The trend shows a temporary stabilization following the February 2026 failure, but the recurring nature of issues indicates a history of neglect regarding long-term upkeep. At 105,281 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 10,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a ten-year-old car. The data shows a consistent accumulation of mileage, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between September 2023 and March 2025, and another 8,000 miles covered in the subsequent 14 months. This regular use explains the wear seen on high-friction components like the suspension and brakes but remains consistent with the recorded mileage. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The March 2025 test flagged oil misting on the front and rear shock absorbers alongside a fractured nearside rear coil spring, indicating the suspension components are reaching the end of their life. Front brake discs and pads have been noted as worn or thin repeatedly across 2023 and 2025, so the buyer should verify if these were actually replaced or if they continue to degrade toward safety limits. The February 2026 failure for carbon monoxide emissions warrants further investigation into the engine's health, specifically checking for oxygen sensor or fuel mixture issues that could cause poor combustion. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system must be confirmed as functional as it was a recent failure point. Given the history of worn brakes and broken springs, the vehicle is likely to require further investment in the near future to maintain its roadworthiness status.
