2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP65 AEJ

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a clean MOT history in terms of defects, with the most recent tests in December 2025 at 149,813 miles showing no advisories or failures beyond the duplicate entries—likely a system error rather than a mechanical issue. The trend is stable, with no recurring faults or worsening conditions over the past two years. The absence of advisories on critical components such as brakes, suspension, or structural integrity suggests the vehicle has been maintained to pass standard compliance checks, though the repeated "failed" status on the same test date raises minor procedural concerns that should be clarified with the seller. Given the high mileage of 149,813 miles—well above the UK average for its age—expectation of wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes is reasonable, but no MOT record has flagged these as problematic. The mileage accumulation is aggressive, averaging around 13,619 miles per year, which is high even for a well-used vehicle. The gap between the 2023 test (123,997 miles) and the 2024 test (144,462 miles) suggests roughly 20,500 miles covered in under a year, indicating either heavy use or a period of neglect between tests. The lack of advisories in any of the records implies that while the car may have been driven hard, it has either been consistently maintained or has not yet developed significant mechanical issues. The absence of corrosion advisories is notable for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Fiesta’s susceptibility to rust in wheel arches and sill areas. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on components prone to high-mileage wear: inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, particularly the rear, as binding brakes were not recorded but could still be a risk at this mileage. Check the suspension for worn bushes, coil springs, or uneven tyre wear, which would indicate alignment or steering issues. Given the high mileage, the drivetrain—including the clutch, gearbox, and exhaust—should be scrutinised for leaks, unusual noises, or excessive emissions, though the MOT records provide no cause for immediate concern. Structural integrity remains the most critical factor; a thorough examination of the chassis, wheel arches, and underbody for corrosion or damage is essential, as the MOT history offers no evidence of past or present issues in these areas.
