2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FH15 LVR

The 2015 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, reflecting consistent roadworthiness across its recent history. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 54,461 miles passed with zero defects recorded, mirroring the clean bills of health from previous years. This unblemished record indicates a car that has required no mechanical corrections or component replacements to meet the DVSA standard over the last four years. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally low usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the 2022 test at 32,750 miles and the 2023 test at 35,764 miles, the car covered 3,014 miles. The following year saw a slightly higher accumulation of 9,561 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, before dropping to just 9,136 miles over the subsequent twelve months. This sub-5,000-mile annual average suggests predominantly short, local journeys. Such low mileage prevents the excessive wear associated with high-mileage driving, though it raises the possibility of long periods of standing, which can cause flat-spotted tyres or brake disc corrosion. Despite the absence of recorded mechanical faults, the 2024 test presents an anomaly worth noting. On 6 June 2024, the vehicle failed at 45,324 miles with no defects listed, only to pass the following day at 45,325 miles with zero advisories. This pattern typically indicates a procedural abort or an emissions test failure resolved immediately, rather than a structural or mechanical defect. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of perishable rubber components. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking and date codes, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber degrades from age. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion from standing, and examine the suspension bushes and exhaust system for any deterioration that MOTs might not flag but could compromise long-term durability.
