2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AK65 AAE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-01 at 33,113 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. However, the same date shows a conflicting failed test entry, which may reflect a data inconsistency. Prior tests from 2024-09-09 and 2023-08-31 also passed without defects, suggesting no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the last three years implies the car has been maintained to meet legal standards, with no evidence of worsening conditions. The recorded mileage of 33,113 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 3,010 miles annually, significantly lower than average for this age. This suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect components like seals, batteries, or corrosion resistance. The MOT history shows sporadic testing, with gaps of over a year between 2022-09-21 (20,132 miles) and 2023-08-31 (26,107 miles), raising questions about the consistency of maintenance. The 2024-09-09 dual entries (pass and fail) at identical mileage further complicate the assessment, warranting verification of the records. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of long-term storage, such as dry-rotted tyres, seized suspension components, or corrosion in underbody areas. While no mechanical faults were recorded, the low mileage and irregular testing intervals mean hidden issues may exist. Pay particular attention to brake systems, as prolonged inactivity can cause caliper binding or disc warping. Structural integrity should also be checked, as low-mileage vehicles are not immune to rust or panel damage. The MOT history provides limited insight into these areas, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
