2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LC15 AAO

The most recent MOT, dated 31 July 2025, shows a clean pass at 51,680 miles with no advisories or defects recorded. The overall roadworthiness is therefore satisfactory at this point. Looking at the history, the maintenance trend is stable and reassuring: each annual test between 2023 and 2025 has seen an initial failure followed by a pass within days, with the pass itself always carrying zero defects. The failure entries from 25 July 2025 and 31 July 2024 also list no specific faults, which suggests those were administrative or system-related results rather than mechanical problems, and the vehicle was re-presented and cleared without recorded remedial work. The mileage pattern fits a low-use vehicle: just under 4,700 miles per year over eleven years is modest for a Ford Fiesta. The recorded intervals are consistent, with roughly 5,300 miles between August 2023 and July 2024, and about 4,300 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. There are no big jumps or long periods of inactivity apparent from the test dates. That said, low annual mileage can mean the car spent time standing, which may have allowed brake discs to corrode or tyres to flat-spot, even if the MOT record does not show it. Because the MOT history contains no recurring defects, you should carry out a hands-on check of the usual age-related items before purchase. Inspect the brake discs and pads for lipping or binding, particularly if the car has been parked up for weeks at a time. Look at the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, and examine the underside for any surface rust that the MOT may not have recorded as a structural concern. Tyres should be checked for cracking, uneven wear, and their date stamps; wiper blades and bulbs are minor consumables and are not a concern. The absence of advisories across all tests indicates the previous owners kept the car in good mechanical order, but a fresh eyes-on inspection remains the final step before committing.
