2015 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

This 2015 Ford Fiesta has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance over the past five cycles, with the most recent test on 16 January 2026 confirming no defects at 46,816 miles. The record shows a stable pattern of passing without advisories or major failures, though the duplicate entries for January 2026—one pass and one fail—suggest a possible administrative error rather than mechanical instability. No recurring faults have been logged, which implies either diligent maintenance or that critical components have not yet reached their typical failure thresholds for this model age. However, the lack of advisories in prior tests means potential issues could have been overlooked, particularly in areas like suspension alignment or subtle corrosion. The recorded mileage of 46,816 miles over nearly 11 years—approximately 4,256 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The mileage increments between tests are consistent: roughly 7,000 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps that might indicate deferred maintenance. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components, the Fiesta’s age means suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers could still be approaching their serviceable limits, especially if the vehicle was stored without regular checks. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear trailing arms and subframe mounts, as these are common failure points in Fiestas of this era. The brakes—though never failed—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the lack of advisories in prior tests could mask subtle issues. Structural integrity is another concern; the chassis rails and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the wheel housings and sills, where salt ingress is likely to have accelerated deterioration over time. Given the vehicle’s age and the absence of service history, fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and the condition of hoses should also be verified, as these are often neglected areas that can lead to sudden failures.
