2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LF65 EAX

This 2015 Ford Fiesta has demonstrated a stable but inconsistent MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-09-24 resulting in a pass—though it is notable that the vehicle was tested twice on the same day, both yielding no defects. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the last three annual tests suggests the vehicle has not suffered from major mechanical failures or structural issues during this period. However, the pattern of back-to-back tests in 2025 implies either a rushed or precautionary approach to compliance, which could indicate underlying uncertainty about the vehicle’s condition. The last full pass occurred just over a year ago, meaning the current MOT is approaching its expiry date in September 2026, leaving less than a month before the next test is legally required. The recorded mileage of 27,124 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 2,466 miles per year, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either minimal use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake systems due to lack of motion. There are no gaps in the MOT record that would indicate extended periods without testing, but the low mileage raises questions about whether critical maintenance—such as fluid changes, brake inspections, or suspension servicing—has been consistently performed. Without additional service records, it is impossible to confirm whether the vehicle has been properly maintained during its low-mileage periods. Given the lack of reported faults in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the bushes and coil springs, as these are prone to degradation even with low mileage. The brakes, including calipers, discs, and pads, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is also a concern for a vehicle of this age, particularly if it has been parked outdoors or in coastal areas. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be examined for leaks or excessive rust, as these are common failure points on older Fiestas. While the MOT record provides no red flags, these areas warrant close attention to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy beyond its current MOT expiry.
