2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HN65 AEK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 39,790 miles passed with a single advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. This represents a stable condition following the significant failures in 2022, where the car failed two tests due to multiple tyre defects, including exposed cords, perishing rubber, and structural damage. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 39,790 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-intensity usage, with only 18,586 miles covered between October 2021 and October 2025. However, this low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components. The history confirms this, as perished tyres in 2019 and 2022 suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, leading to dry rot and cracking despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer should personally inspect the tyres thoroughly, as the record shows a recurring failure to monitor tyre condition and uneven wear patterns. The 2024 advisory regarding a damaged offside rear seat belt indicates a minor interior oversight that requires attention for safety compliance. Given the low annual mileage, an inspection should also check for brake caliper seizing and the degradation of suspension bushes, as these components can perish or seize when a vehicle is subjected to infrequent mechanical stress. No structural corrosion or deep mechanical failures have appeared in the record, suggesting the primary risks remain related to age-related consumable wear.
