2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BO51 SHO

This 2015 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT test, conducted just eight months ago on 2025-09-09, shows a clean pass with no defects recorded—despite the unusual duplicate entry (one pass, one fail at identical mileage). The preceding tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without failings, suggesting a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three years. However, the duplicate entries at the same mileage in 2025 raise questions about administrative accuracy rather than mechanical condition. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the official record, which implies either consistent maintenance or components that have not yet reached critical wear thresholds. The vehicle’s mileage progression of roughly 8,000 miles annually aligns with typical usage for its age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. Since the 2023 test at 75,074 miles, the car has accumulated 13,035 miles in two years, a rate that suggests regular driving rather than neglect. The absence of gaps between tests further supports that the vehicle has remained in active use without extended periods of disuse, which could accelerate wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion-prone areas. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that often fail silently. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for cracking or excessive play, as these are common failure points in Fiestas of this age. Brake discs and calipers, especially the rear, warrant attention, given the vehicle’s mileage; binding or unevenly worn pads could indicate past neglect. Structural integrity is another concern; the subframe, sills, and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, as rust can compromise safety-critical elements. While the MOT history is clean, these areas are where hidden issues typically manifest beyond the scope of a test.
