2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BK65 BOU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 66,293 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure just four days prior. In that December test, the tester flagged an insecure exhaust heat shield and excessively worn sub-frame pins and bushes on the rear axle. The immediate subsequent pass suggests that the owner addressed these structural and mechanical defects promptly to maintain legal road use. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a recorded gap of 6,980 miles between the January 2024 test and the January 2025 test, followed by another 4,948 miles leading into the December 2025 tests. This suggests relatively low-intensity annual use, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components like perished tyres and suspension bushes through age, as noted in the January 2025 advisories. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the rear sub-frame to ensure the worn bushes identified in December 2025 have been properly replaced rather than merely adjusted. The January 2025 record noted a non-excessive oil leak, which requires a visual check under the vehicle to determine if this has worsened over time. Additionally, verify the condition of the offside front seat belt webbing and the exterior state of the registration plates, as these were previously flagged as points of failure or deterioration.
