2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GD65 EKE

The 2026‑06‑01 MOT at 28,602 miles produced a pass, confirming the Fiesta is presently roadworthy. The earlier 2026‑05‑23 failure at 28,582 miles led to corrective work and a subsequent retest that passed, showing an improving maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 7,349 miles in the 2018 test to 28,602 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 2,600 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 11‑year age and suggests regular, moderate use without long periods of standing. The interval between the 2023‑12‑06 test at 21,747 miles and the 2024‑11‑21 test at 24,961 miles shows a typical annual increase, and the recent rise from 24,962 to 28,074 miles in five months reflects continued use. A buyer should therefore examine the rear suspension components, specifically the swivel pins and bushes that have been noted as slightly worn in both the May and June 2026 tests, and verify that the offside tyre tread meets the legal limit despite edge wear. Inspection of the front tyres for cracking or perishing, the condition of the brake pads and discs, and a visual check for corrosion on the sub‑frame and wheel arches will address the recurring defects highlighted throughout the history. Confirming that the recent pass reflects effective remedial action, the buyer should also test the steering for binding and ensure the exhaust system shows no excessive corrosion, completing a thorough assessment of the vehicle’s mechanical health.
