2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EN15 AEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs. The most recent test on June 1, 2026 at 48,252 miles resulted in a failure due to insufficient washer fluid and a nearside rear tyre worn to the limit. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the appearance of these faults suggests the owner only addresses defects when prompted by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative maintenance. This contrasts with the 2024 and 2025 tests where the vehicle achieved clean passes with no recorded defects. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain components. However, the data shows a significant drop in usage frequency between May 2025 and June 2026, where the car covered only 5,688 miles in thirteen. Such periods of low mileage can lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre seals, and may cause brake corrosion due to lack of regular use. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the tyres and sidewalls, as the record reveals a recurring history of cuts and uneven wear dating back to 2018. The failure for an edge-worn nearside rear tyre in 2026 may indicate a lingering alignment issue or worn suspension that should be verified by a technician. Additionally, the nearside rear seat belt flagged as damaged in 2019 should be checked to ensure the locking mechanism remains functional and secure. Given the low mileage, inspecting the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers is essential to ensure the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods between services.
