2015 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · AU15 AEB

The 2015 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-07-07 MOT at 95,038 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-07-03 (83,038 miles) and 2023-07-18 (70,860 miles) also passed without issues. However, a 2023-06-20 test at 70,848 miles failed despite no defects being listed, raising questions about the accuracy of that assessment. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests suggests the vehicle has maintained acceptable standards, though the unexplained failure warrants scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging ~8,640 miles annually over 11 years. A notable gap between the 2022-06-16 test (56,735 miles) and 2023-06-20 test (70,848 miles) indicates a 14,113-mile jump in 12 months, which could reflect increased usage or delayed testing. Subsequent annual checks show consistent mileage accumulation, with no signs of excessive wear on consumables or structural components. The MOT records are otherwise clean, with no advisories or critical failures reported. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The 2023 failure, though unexplained, highlights the need to inspect brake systems for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as these can develop gradually. Corrosion in underbody areas and exhaust emissions should also be assessed, as older vehicles may exhibit hidden structural or emission-related issues. The lack of recorded defects in recent tests supports the car’s roadworthiness, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm integrity.
