2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GD65 AEE

The 2015 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT test on 7 April 2026 at 57,050 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This marks the third consecutive pass without failings, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern over the past year. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the last two tests implies the vehicle has likely undergone consistent servicing, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in suspension components, brake calipers, and corrosion-prone areas. The most recent test’s clean pass aligns with the vehicle’s low mileage, but the 2025 anomaly—where the same mileage (51,265) appears twice—raises suspicion of either a duplicate entry or a period of inactivity. The recorded mileage of 57,050 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 5,186 miles annually, which is unusually low for a car of this age. The largest gap between tests occurs between the July 2023 pass (42,725 miles) and the April 2024 pass (45,564 miles), a 2,839-mile span over nearly a year—suggesting the vehicle may have been stationary or used minimally. The subsequent 5,699 miles covered between April 2024 and July 2025 indicate reactivated use, but the abrupt doubling of mileage in the final year (5,785 miles between April 2025 and April 2026) could signal recent increased usage without corresponding maintenance. This pattern warrants scrutiny of fluid levels, tyre wear, and suspension integrity. Given the lack of MOT-reported faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade silently over time. The rear brakes, while not failed, may exhibit binding or uneven wear given the Fiesta’s tendency for caliper sticking—particularly if the vehicle has been stationary. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT failings. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as emissions-related issues are not always captured in basic MOT tests. The vehicle’s clean record does not guarantee all systems are flawless, but it does indicate no obvious neglect.
