2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DN65 WDM

A consistently clean record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with no recorded defects or advisories across its recent testing history. The pattern of same-day failures and passes in 2024 and 2025 suggests that any minor issues encountered during the inspection were rectified immediately, maintaining a stable and high standard of mechanical compliance leading up to the most recent pass on 30 October 2025. The recorded mileage of 25,387 miles is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,308 miles per year. This usage profile indicates that the car has likely endured long periods of inactivity or very limited short-distance use. Mechanically, this means that while drivetrain wear is minimal, the vehicle is more susceptible to the degradation of perishable components that age regardless of distance travelled. During a test drive, focus on the tactile feedback of the steering and the condition of the suspension bushes. Listen for any knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, as rubber components can perish or harden when a vehicle is not regularly exercised. Check for any binding in the brake calipers or a lack of pedal responsiveness, which can occur when braking systems are under-utilised over long durations. A physical inspection should prioritise the condition of engine seals and the exhaust system to check for oil misting or surface corrosion resulting from prolonged standing. Ensure the engine maintains a steady idle and reaches operating temperature without hesitation. Finally, examine the sills and subframe for any signs of corrosion to confirm that the low-mileage history is matched by a suitable storage environment.
