2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE65 VSN

A clean and consistent MOT record defines this 2015 Ford Fiesta, with the most recent assessment on 16 September 2025 returning a pass with no advisories or defects recorded. The pattern across the documented history reinforces this positive roadworthiness picture: every completed test has ended in a pass, and crucially, no advisory notes have ever been logged for wear items such as tyres, brake components, suspension parts, exhaust systems, or corrosion. The two failed entries both appear on the same dates as passing tests, which indicates they were administrative refusals or retests completed within minutes of the original inspection rather than mechanical failures requiring rectification. Taken as a whole, the DVSA history suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a roadworthy standard throughout its life, with no chronic component weaknesses or developing defects flagged by the testing station. Against an average annual mileage of roughly 6,728 miles over its eleven-year life, this Fiesta sits comfortably within typical usage parameters for a car of its age. There are no extended gaps in the MOT record that would suggest long periods off the road, and the steady accumulation of mileage points to consistent rather than erratic use. This profile is mechanically favourable: consumables such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and exhaust components have not been subjected to the accelerated wear that high-mileage urban driving tends to produce. Equally, the car has not been left standing for extended periods, which can otherwise bring issues with brake caliper seizure, dry-rotted suspension bushes, or deteriorated rubber components such as drive belts and coolant hoses. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any recorded advisories means there is no specific component history to investigate further through the MOT data, but a thorough physical inspection and test drive remain essential. Particular attention should be paid to the areas that commonly affect Fiestas of this generation as they accumulate mileage, namely the rear axle bush and trailing arm mounting points, which can develop play and produce knocking or clonking over uneven road surfaces. On test drive, listen for any squealing or grinding from the brakes which might suggest seized caliper sliders or worn pad material, feel for pulling to one side under braking which can indicate uneven pad wear or a binding caliper, and check for excessive vibration through the steering wheel which may suggest warped front brake discs. The clutch should also be evaluated for slipping under load, any judder on take-off, or a high biting point, all of which would indicate impending replacement on a vehicle of this age and mileage. Structurally, the underside of the vehicle warrants close examination, particularly the front subframe mounting points, sill areas, and suspension arm corrosion, as Fiestas from this era can develop surface rust in higher-mileage examples. All fluid levels should be checked for correct fill and condition, with the engine oil examined for any milky residue that could suggest coolant contamination, and the coolant itself inspected for signs of emulsion. Finally, confirm that all dashboard warning lights illuminate correctly at ignition and extinguish once the engine is running, and verify that the timing belt or chain service interval is within schedule, as these maintenance items would represent the most significant foreseeable expenditure on an otherwise well-presented example.
