2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · DF64 OYE

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is currently in a state of flux, as evidenced by the two distinct MOT failures recorded on 15 January 2026. The most recent test on 2026-01-15 failed with no defects, whereas the previous test on 2025-01-14 passed, indicating a period of stability before the first failure occurred. This pattern suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a complete overhaul for the past two years, implying that maintenance has been inconsistent rather than systematically failing. The mileage trajectory is notably low for a 2015 model, averaging approximately 5,896 miles annually. While this rate is low for an older car, it does not rule out wear and tear; the absence of defects in the most recent test suggests that the engine and drivetrain are likely in good condition at this time. However, the gap between the 2026-01-15 and 2025-01-14 tests indicates a lack of regular servicing. If the car has been driven recently, this gap could represent a period of inactivity, which may have contributed to the initial failure on 2025-01-14, even though the engine itself appears sound. Given the history, the buyer should inspect the car for structural integrity and consumables. The most critical areas are the suspension components, specifically the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to failure. Additionally, the brake system must be checked for binding calipers and brake discs, as the previous failure on 2025-01-14 suggests that these components may have worn down significantly. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified, as the history of two failed tests indicates that the vehicle may not be fully compliant with current emission standards.
