2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BN15 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 24 May 2025 at 51,387 miles. This most recent test confirms the car is currently compliant with DVSA standards, and the absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last three consecutive annual inspections suggests a well-maintained mechanical state. The brief failure recorded on 17 May 2023 appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly given the identical mileage to the pass recorded on the same day, rather than a reflection of mechanical decline. With 51,387 miles accumulated over eleven years, the car averages approximately 4,672 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. The consistent, incremental mileage accumulation between the 2022 test at 37,592 miles and the 2025 test indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods. This pattern of light, steady usage is generally favourable for the longevity of the engine and drivetrain components, as it avoids the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage fleet use or the potential for seized components caused by long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of consumable items that often escape MOT scrutiny, such as the age of the tyres and the remaining thickness of the brake pads and discs. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle warrants a close check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the exhaust system for signs of surface corrosion or perishing rubber components. Verify that the timing belt has been replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item that does not appear in the MOT data but is essential for the long-term reliability of this engine.
