2016 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · YY16 AEA

The 2016 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 18 December 2025 at 90,219 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 18 December 2024 test at 83,744 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across its available history, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Recorded mileage sits at 90,219 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,022 miles per year and falling within typical use for this model age. The gap between the 13 July 2023 test at 74,343 miles and the December 2024 failures at 83,729 miles covers approximately 9,400 miles over seventeen months, a moderate accumulation. Sparse records limit deep trend analysis, but the clean pass profile suggests the prior owner addressed issues promptly when they arose. The December 2024 record shows two failed tests on 9 and 11 December at 83,729 miles, both with no defects logged by the tester. Such entries usually reflect administrative or presentation faults such as missing documentation or plate anomalies rather than worn suspension bushes or corroded structures. Still, a buyer should verify the V5C, number plates, and warning lamp function in person to rule out hidden rejection causes. No advisories for brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity appear in the file. Given the clean trajectory, a physical inspection should focus on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody corrosion checks standard for a ten-year-old hatchback, rather than pursuing suspected major faults absent from the MOT data.
