Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a concerning downward trend in mechanical and structural condition. While it passed its most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 82,232 miles, the record reveals a significant increase in advisory items compared to previous years. The vehicle failed just one day prior on 2 February 2026 due to worn front brake pads and scored brake discs, indicating that essential consumable maintenance was neglected. The transition from a clean MOT in 2024 to multiple structural and mechanical advisories in 2026 suggests the vehicle is entering a period of accelerated deterioration. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,476 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 26,276 miles in 2018 to the current 82,232 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the frequency of failures in recent years indicates that the vehicle is being driven enough to wear out components without receiving proactive preventative maintenance. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside and suspension. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of axle swivel pin and bush wear dating back to 2020, which has now progressed to include corrosion on the rear axle mounts and the front sub-frame. While the 2026 report notes the sub-frame corrosion is not yet seriously weakened, the presence of corrosion on the exhaust and rear axle requires close scrutiny to ensure structural integrity is not compromised. The steering and braking systems also require immediate attention. The tester identified slight free play in the steering rack during the February 2026 tests, which may indicate a need for rack replacement or bushing repairs. Given the recent failure of the front brake pads and discs, the buyer should verify that the entire braking system has been serviced and not just the minimum components required to pass the test. Finally, the reported perishing of the rear tyres and inoperative fog lights suggest that basic upkeep of consumables and electrical components has been inconsistent.

Our Verdict

Exercise caution with this vehicle. Whil

The primary concern for this vehicle is the structural corrosion listed in the February 2026 MOT. You should have a qualified mechanic inspect the front sub-frame and rear axle mounts to determine if the corrosion is superficial or if it will require expensive welding or replacement in the near future.

Additionally, the recorded 'slight free play' in the steering rack and worn axle swivel pins and bushes suggest wear and tear that exceeds typical maintenance. Use these data points to negotiate the price, as these components may require attention soon to maintain safety and handling standards.

The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for city driving. Insurance groups for the 2015 Fiesta are generally affordable, and the vehicle falls into a standard tax bracket for its age and engine size.

However, typical maintenance costs for this specific car are likely to be higher than average. The presence of corrosion on the exhaust and chassis, alongside steering and suspension wear, suggests that the annual budget for repairs will need to be higher than for a cleaner example of this model.

Prioritise a thorough underside inspection. Specifically, look for the corrosion mentioned in the 2026 MOT on the front sub-frame, rear axle, and suspension component mounting areas. Check the exhaust system for the corrosion noted in the most recent test.

Test the steering wheel for the 'slight free play' recorded in February 2026 and inspect the rear tyres for the cracking or perishing mentioned in the MOT history. Finally, verify that the front fog lights, which were inoperative during the last test, are now functioning correctly.

This silver 2015 Ford Fiesta has recorded 82,232 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history reveals a concerning trend of increasing corrosion, progressing from general underside notes in 2025 to specific corrosion on the front sub-frame, rear axle, and suspension mounts in 2026. A recent failure in February 2026 required the replacement of brake pads and discs.

The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points often including headlamps and exhaust systems.
