2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CE65 VTU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 17, 2026, at 96,273 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a recurring pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent failure involved only a simple nearside stop lamp, the record shows a consistent history of failing to address basic electrical and consumable items before testing. The trend remains stable in terms of neglect, with the owner only addressing faults once they trigger a formal MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,750 miles per year. The record moves from 45,145 miles in October 2018 to 96,273 miles in June 2026, showing steady usage patterns. There are no significant periods of inactivity that would suggest age-related degradation of rubber components or seals, but the steady mileage means mechanical components like the suspension and braking system are reaching expected wear levels for this age and interval. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension system, as the June 2024 test at 88,633 miles flagged perished rear axle bushes and surface corrosion across both front and rear components. Although the vehicle passed the following year, the presence of corrosion on structural mounting points requires a physical inspection to ensure it is not progressing. The recurring failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system in 2024 and 2025 also indicates a persistent fault that may still be present or poorly repaired despite previous warnings. The history also highlights frequent issues with tyres and lighting, with multiple failures for low tread depth and inoperative bulbs between 2019, 2021, 2025, and 2026. This suggests the owner often waits until components are legally obsolete before replacement. An in-person inspection should verify the current condition of all four tyres and the brake pads, which were already noted as thin as back in 2020, to ensure they have been properly maintained since the last recorded defects.
