AK65 AAO MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The record contains 8 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 31 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (11 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Lighting (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 22 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative (5.2.3 (h))”; “Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick Inside pads both sides (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
Buyer's Guide & Inspection Advisory
Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purchasing this vehicle. The repeated presence of exhaust emissions issues and a history of multiple MOT failures suggests potential mechanical concerns that require professional investigation.
Prioritise a professional mechanical inspection, specifically focusing on the engine. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with blue smoke during acceleration recorded in 2022, 2024, and 2026, which often indicates oil being burnt within the combustion chamber.
When negotiating, use the history of MOT failures—including brake pads, tyres, and engine mountings—to question the level of preventative maintenance performed. Ensure you ask for evidence that the blue smoke issue and the track rod end play noted in 2024 have been fully addressed, rather than just passed on an advisory basis.
As a 998cc petrol engine, this Fiesta is likely to sit in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. However, the recurring exhaust emission issues could impact fuel efficiency if the engine is not running optimally.
Typical maintenance for this model includes regular brake and tyre replacements, which have appeared frequently in this vehicle's MOT history. Expect annual running costs to be influenced by the need to address these recurring mechanical and wear-and-tear items.
A critical inspection point is the engine's health; the repeated 'exhaust emits blue smoke' entries across multiple years is a significant red flag for oil consumption or valve issues. You should also check the condition of the engine and gearbox mountings, as these were flagged as damaged in 2023.
Additionally, inspect the suspension and steering components. The 2024 record noted play in the offside track rod end, and the 2023 record highlighted worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes. Finally, verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is fully functional, as it was recorded as malfunctioning in September 2023.
This 2015 silver Ford Fiesta 1.0L petrol has covered 69,069 miles since its first registration in September 2015. While it has passed its recent MOT tests, the records show a recurring issue with blue smoke from the exhaust and a significant number of failures and advisories in 2023. The vehicle's mileage is notably higher than the model average of 5,835 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with common failures related to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
