2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · FX65 AOL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT pass recorded on 1 May 2026 at 39,585 miles. While the most recent two testing cycles in May 2025 and May 2026 both initially failed due to ineffective windscreen wipers, these represent minor consumable issues rather than mechanical or structural failures. The absence of any advisories or defects in the latest pass suggests the vehicle is currently meeting minimum regulatory standards. The mileage history indicates very light usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The progression from 11,218 miles in September 2018 to 39,585 miles in May 2026 shows a consistent, low-intensity driving pattern. There are no significant gaps in the testing chronology, though the jump from 25,501 miles in September 2023 to 33,295 miles in May 2025 suggests a period of slightly higher usage compared to the earlier years. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and rubber components. The September 2023 test at 25,501 miles flagged both nearside and offside front brake pads as wearing thin. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to component seizure or uneven wear due to infrequent use. It is advisable to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding. Given the low mileage, the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. This can affect the condition of various rubber elements and fluids. Beyond the recurring wiper blade issues, a physical inspection should confirm the integrity of the tyres, suspension bushes, and the battery's health. The MOT history shows no evidence of structural corrosion or suspension failures, which is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
