2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EO15 DMZ

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend at its most recent MOT. The July 2025 test at 96,122 miles returned a clean pass with zero defects, a marked contrast to the previous year's advisories. This suggests the owner addressed the minor faults flagged in August 2024, specifically the deteriorating rear registration plate and the damaged offside mirror. The vehicle is currently roadworthy with no outstanding concerns on record. The mileage pattern is consistent and unremarkable for an eleven-year-old car. Annual mileage sits around 8,700 miles, accumulating steadily from 81,011 miles in June 2022 to 96,122 miles by July 2025. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the record that would indicate long periods of disuse or very high recent use. The MOT history itself is complete, with consecutive annual tests recorded, which is a positive indicator of regular upkeep. A buyer should still inspect several components that have appeared repeatedly in the vehicle's history. The offside obligatory mirror was flagged as slightly damaged in three consecutive tests between 2022 and 2024, so checking for any lingering damage or loose mounting is sensible. The June 2022 failure revealed a cluster of suspension and steering wear items, including a worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, worn rear axle swivel pin bushes, a split gearbox roll restrictor bush, and a worn nearside front wheel bearing. Although the subsequent 2022 pass and clean 2025 test suggest these were addressed, a physical inspection of the front suspension arms, bushes, and wheel bearings remains prudent. The nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit in 2022, and the nearside front road wheel was noted as slightly distorted, so checking for uneven tyre wear and wheel condition is advisable. The exhaust flexi joint had a minor leak flagged in 2023, and the 2022 test recorded elevated carbon monoxide emissions at fast idle, so a brief cold-start check for exhaust blow and unusual engine idle behaviour would be worthwhile.
