2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · JM13 MUT

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents an unblemished roadworthiness record across its recorded DVSA test history, with both documented MOT inspections returning a clean pass and no advisories logged against the vehicle. The most recent assessment on 26 July 2024 was completed without a single defect recorded, and the earlier pass on 25 March 2022 mirrors that outcome, confirming a stable pattern of compliance. With no advisories on file, there are no specific components officially flagged for attention, though the absence of recorded defects does not eliminate the possibility of developing wear given the vehicle's age and accumulated mileage. Overall, the trajectory is one of consistent pass results with no deterioration evident between tests. With 106,764 miles recorded against an eleven-year span, this Fiesta accumulates roughly 9,706 miles annually, which sits comfortably within the typical range for a car of its age and class. There is a notable interval between the two recorded tests, spanning from March 2022 to July 2024, during which the vehicle covered sufficient mileage to require re-presenting for testing under standard annual MOT protocols. This suggests the car has been in regular use throughout the period rather than left stationary, which is mechanically beneficial for components prone to deterioration when dormant, such as brake systems, suspension linkages, and drivetrain seals. The mileage progression does not show any unusual spikes or gaps that would raise concerns about clock inconsistencies or extended periods of inactivity. For a prospective buyer, the clean advisory history means attention should focus on the components most prone to wear at this mileage on a Fiesta of this generation, particularly the rear drum brake mechanisms, front brake discs and pads, and the suspension bushes and anti-roll bar linkages which are known to deteriorate with mileage accumulation in the high five to low six figures. On inspection, listen for any clonking or knocking noises from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn drop links or anti-roll bar bushes, and pay close attention to steering precision, as any vagueness or rattling could point to worn tie bar or stabiliser bush wear. Test the brakes progressively from speed to check for any pulling to one side, which may suggest a binding caliper or uneven pad wear, and verify that the handbrake holds effectively on an incline, as rear drum mechanisms on Fiesta models can lose efficiency through adjustment or mechanism wear. A thorough road test should also include careful evaluation of the clutch action, noting any slipping under load, grinding on engagement, or excessive travel, as clutch wear is common at this mileage on a supermini that has seen regular urban use. Listen for any rhythmic whirring or humming from the front wheels that changes with speed, which could indicate worn wheel bearings, and check for any signs of coolant leaks or oil seepage from the engine and gearbox during a cold start inspection, as gasket and seal degradation becomes more likely with age and mileage. Finally, inspect the underside of the vehicle for any emerging corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, as the Fiesta's underbody protection can deteriorate over time even on a vehicle with a clean MOT record.
