2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CK15 ADU

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the last recorded test took place on 28 October 2022. This creates a significant gap in the maintenance history, leaving the current roadworthiness of the car unknown for nearly four years. The 2022 test results indicate a worsening trend in mechanical upkeep, as the vehicle failed its initial inspection due to a combination of safety-critical suspension wear and missing lighting components. While the car eventually passed the retest, the presence of multiple advisories regarding sub-frame bushes and anti-roll bar linkages suggests that the chassis components were beginning to show their age at that time. The recorded mileage of 88,443 miles over an eleven-year period reflects a consistent and moderate usage pattern of approximately 8,000 miles per annum. The history shows steady accumulation between 2020 and 2022, with roughly 13,000 miles added annually during that period. However, the absence of any MOT data since late 2022 is a major concern. It is unclear if the vehicle has been off the road, stored in poor conditions, or driven without a valid test certificate, all of which can lead to accelerated corrosion or seized mechanical parts that do not appear in the digital record. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering geometry, specifically focusing on the sub-frame bushes and front ball joints that were flagged in 2022. These components are notorious for wear on this platform and often require replacement to restore handling precision. You should also verify the condition of the anti-roll bar linkages, as these are common failure points that cause knocking noises over uneven surfaces. Given the long period of inactivity, inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of heavy surface corrosion or binding, as these systems frequently deteriorate when left stationary for extended durations.
