2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EN64 PSX

A pattern of minor electrical component failures has characterised the recent MOT history for this Ford Fiesta, though the vehicle has consistently achieved passes following these rectifications. The most recent test on 18 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, but only after an initial failure due to an inoperative nearside stop lamp. This follows a similar failure in July 2024 regarding an inoperative registration plate lamp and a failure in July 2022 for a non-working nearside rear stop lamp. While these issues are limited to external lighting and do not indicate structural or mechanical deterioration, they demonstrate a recurring need for bulb or circuit attention. The vehicle has covered 69,733 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,339 miles. This usage profile is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has likely been used for short-distance trips or remains parked for significant periods between journeys. Mechanically, this level of mileage typically means less wear on heavy-duty drivetrain components and suspension linkages compared to high-mileage vehicles, but it can also mean that rubber components such as bushes or seals have aged more through time than through physical movement. Because the recorded failures have been limited strictly to lighting, there are no specific mechanical advisories regarding brake pipes, suspension arms, or subframe corrosion to report from the DVSA data. However, given the history of stop lamp and registration lamp failures, a prospective buyer should verify the integrity of the rear light clusters and the associated wiring looms. During a test drive, pay close attention to the operation of all external lighting, including brake lights and indicators, to ensure there is no intermittent electrical fault or loose connection within the rear light assemblies. The relatively low annual mileage suggests that while the engine and gearbox may have low mechanical wear, the vehicle should be inspected for any signs of fluid weeping or perished rubber components that can occur when a car is driven infrequently. While the MOT record shows no current defects, a thorough inspection of the tyre sidewalls for cracking and a check of the battery health would be prudent, as these are common areas of concern for vehicles with this specific usage pattern.
