2016 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YS16 WNL

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, having maintained a consistent pass record across its last five inspections. The most recent test on October 11, 2025 at 57,611 miles passed without major failures, though a recurring advisory regarding the artwork persists. While the mechanical status appears stable, the history shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative repair, as minor defects are left unaddressed across multiple years. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per annum. Between October 2021 at 34,496 miles and October 2025 at 57,611 miles, the car covered roughly 23,000 miles, indicating consistent low-intensity use. This low mileage generally suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes or seals if the vehicle has sat for extended periods without movement. A buyer should pay close attention to the windscreen which has been flagged for damage in four consecutive tests since 2022, suggesting a lack of attention to cosmetic glass repairs. The 2023 test at 45,995 miles identified both front tyres as worn on the edge and near the legal limit, which often indicates alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. A physical inspection should verify the current state of the brake discs and pads to ensure the low mileage has not led to surface pitting or excessive corrosion on the braking system.
