2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YS66 OTC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a highly consistent maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 117,907 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior at 117,906 miles. This specific sequence suggests an administrative error or a minor sensor-related failure that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical issue. Since November 2022, the car has passed every annual inspection without advisories, indicating that the structural and safety components remain within tolerance. The mileage pattern is typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per annum. The data from late 2022 to early 2026 shows steady usage, with a 5,000-mile gap between the November 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 9,300 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is used consistently, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals, gaskets, and battery components compared to long periods. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage of 117,907 miles necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear items that MOT tests do not fully evaluate. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade at this mileage. The brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven heat scoring, and the drivetrain should be inspected for any signs of oil leaks. Given the age and distance, verifying the condition of the rubber components and the integrity of the exhaust system is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing beneath the chassis.
