FORD FIESTA2015 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a recent re-test. The most recent MOT conducted on 24 November 2025 at 20,081 miles passed with no defects recorded. This followed an unexplained failure just four days prior at 20,061 miles, though the record shows no specific faults for that initial failure. The discrepancy suggests either an administrative error or a minor sensor-related issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,826 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 11,976 miles and the November 2025 test at 20,081 miles, the car covered only 8,105 miles over three years. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of inactivity often lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown that the MOT does not always capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage, long-term storage. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for flat-spotting or dry corrosion, and check the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers from infrequent use. Given the age of the Fiesta, the suspension bushes and rubber boots should be examined for cracking. While the MOT history is clean of structural rust or mechanical failures, the low mileage justifies a thorough check of the fluid condition and the state of the timing belt to ensure it has not perished while standing.
