2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FG65 HMZ

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass at 58,086 miles on 20 June 2025. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. A failed test occurred on 23 May 2025 at 58,084 miles, yet the record notes no defects, suggesting the failure stemmed from an inability to complete the test or an administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent pass just one month later confirms the vehicle was swiftly returned to a compliant state. Accumulating 58,086 miles over eleven years equates to an annual average of roughly 5,281 miles, marking this as a notably low-mileage example. The mileage progression reveals consistent, light usage: 37,625 miles in August 2022, 43,860 miles in August 2023, and 52,141 miles in August 2024. This demonstrates a steady accumulation of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 miles per year prior to 2025. However, the record shows a stark drop in usage recently, with only 2 miles driven between the May 2025 failure and the June 2025 pass. Such minimal movement over the last year raises the possibility of prolonged standing, which demands careful inspection of perishable components. Despite the absence of recorded mechanical or structural advisories, the low annual mileage and recent near-static state warrant a focused physical inspection. Tyres must be checked thoroughly; low-mileage vehicles often sit in one position for extended periods, leading to flat-spotting, sidewall cracking, or perishing long before the tread wears down. Brake discs and calipers also require close scrutiny, as infrequent use can cause surface corrosion and binding, compromising braking efficiency. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for deterioration from age rather than wear. Fluid condition and age are critical here. A car covering minimal distances rarely reaches optimal operating temperature, preventing moisture from burning off the oil and potentially causing long-term engine corrosion. Verify the coolant and brake fluid condition, checking for moisture absorption or degradation. While the MOT history indicates diligent upkeep and no recurring faults, the usage pattern implies a vehicle that may have suffered from neglect through inactivity rather than heavy use.
