2015 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.2L Petrol · JRZ 4015

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-30 at 72,998 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, a prior failure on 2025-10-27 at 72,939 miles—just three days earlier—suggests a potential issue that was resolved before the retest. While no defects were noted in either test, the proximity of the failure and subsequent pass raises questions about the nature of the initial non-compliance. The absence of recorded faults in the 2024-2022 tests implies a stable maintenance trend, with no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage progression aligns with average annual usage of ~6,636 miles, reflecting typical wear for a 11-year-old vehicle. A notable jump from 58,781 miles (2023-10-15) to 66,582 miles (2024-10-22) indicates consistent annual driving, though no significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, suggesting the owner prioritized basic upkeep. However, the lack of detailed fault records limits insight into specific maintenance practices, such as tyre tread depth or brake component wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, common issues in older Fiestas, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which can arise from uneven wear. The undercarriage should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and chassis, as these areas are prone to rust in older vehicles. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the October 2025 failure—despite no recorded defects—warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s electrical or emissions systems during a physical inspection.
