2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AE65 VUT

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 April 2025 at 67,865 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 13 April 2023 at 63,623 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows a fail with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows 61,254 miles in May 2022, rising to 63,623 by April 2023, then 67,311 in April 2024 and 67,865 in April 2025. That equates to roughly 3,400 miles in the first interval and under 600 miles across the final year, indicating the vehicle entered a period of very light use. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the chain. The clean advisory history across all tests suggests the previous owner kept on top of consumables and avoided letting minor wear become notifiable. No corrosion, suspension bush degradation, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches were ever flagged. A same-day fail-with-no-defects followed by pass implies the tester aborted and retested, not a deferred repair. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given the low recent mileage may mask standing-water corrosion. Verify the front suspension strut top mounts and rear coil springs for fatigue from prolonged inactivity. Confirm the braking system is free from binding calipers after the low-use year, and check tyre sidewall condition for perishing from age rather than tread wear.
