2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · V31 EJH

The May 1 2026 MOT at 95,171 miles issued a pass, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA’s roadworthiness criteria, though the tyre wear recorded as a 5.2.3 (e) advisory suggests the previous owner allowed the rubber to approach the legal limit. The record shows a shift from earlier failures on headlamp aim and seat adjustment in April 2025 to a clean pass two years later, indicating that corrective work was carried out and the car’s mechanical condition has stabilized. At an age of roughly eleven years, the 95,171‑mile odometer equates to an average annual mileage of 8,652 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a 2015 Fiesta. Mileage increments show a steady progression: from 31,333 miles in April 2021 to 56,925 miles by April 2023 (25,592 miles in two years), then a jump to 69,953 miles by April 2024, reflecting a period of higher use in 2023‑24, while the interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests was only one month, suggesting the vehicle has been tested regularly without long standing periods. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components that have repeatedly appeared on the record, notably the excessive play in the track rod end ball joint noted in 2021, 2023 and 2025, which points to worn suspension bushes or mis‑aligned geometry; a physical inspection of the coil springs, shock absorbers and rear brake calipers is essential, as earlier failures on the near side rear stop lamp and tyre cord exposure indicate potential brake binding or uneven wear. Finally, the buyer ought to examine the chassis for structural rust, verify the condition of the exhaust system, and test the headlamp aim and seat fore‑aft adjustment, since these items have been flagged multiple times and could affect both safety and compliance.
