2015 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · YM15 AAY

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a clean MOT history over the past three years, with the most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 185,429 miles showing no defects—an outcome mirrored in the three preceding annual tests. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained in terms of core roadworthiness, with no recurring advisories or failures to indicate deteriorating mechanical integrity. The only anomaly is the duplicate entry for 17 June 2022 , where the car was tested twice on the same mileage, once passing and once failing without recorded defects—a rare administrative error rather than a mechanical red flag. Given the absence of advisories or major repairs, the trend is stable, though the high mileage accumulation demands closer scrutiny of high-wear components. The Fiesta’s mileage has climbed steadily, averaging around 16,857 miles per year —well above the typical annual average for its age group. Between July 2023 (160,786 miles) and July 2025 (185,429 miles) , the vehicle covered 24,643 miles in just two years , indicating either intensive use or prolonged periods of heavy driving. There are no gaps suggesting long-term storage, which would have been beneficial for reducing wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components. The rapid mileage accumulation, however, increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and clutch components, as well as potential fatigue in suspension elements. For a prospective buyer, the absence of MOT defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Key areas to examine include the rear suspension bushes and coil springs , given the high mileage—these are prone to hardening or cracking under sustained heavy use. The brake system , particularly the rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as the MOT history provides no evidence of recent servicing in this area. Exhaust emissions have not been flagged, but a visual inspection of the catalytic converter and exhaust mounts is advisable, as corrosion or leaks can develop without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, while the bodywork shows no signs of structural corrosion in the MOT records, a close look at the wheel arches, sills, and underbody is essential, as rust can compromise safety without being classified as a defect.
