2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · GY65 FGP

The most recent MOT, dated 13 August 2025 at 88,021 mi, recorded a failure for the off‑side windscreen wiper not clearing the glass effectively. Although the test otherwise passed, the wiper fault is a safety issue that must be remedied before the car can be legally driven. A pattern of wear‑related defects emerges from the earlier tests. In August 2024 the car had thin front brake pads, a front disc that was pitted, and several tyres on the edge of the legal limit – two front tyres and the nearside rear tyre showed damage. In August 2023 the MOT flagged missing rear stop lamps, a cut in the nearside front tyre that reached the ply, and the same front tyres again close to the legal limit. The recurrence of tyre wear and damage across three consecutive years suggests the tyres have been on the limit of their service life and may not have been replaced promptly. The brake wear noted in 2024 indicates the front braking system is approaching the point where replacement will be required. Overall the condition trend is relatively stable – the same categories of wear (tyres, brakes) keep appearing, but no new major mechanical failures have surfaced. The only new defect in the latest test is the wiper problem, which is a relatively inexpensive fix compared with the ongoing tyre and brake wear. At roughly 8 000 mi per year, the mileage is typical for a 2015 model.
