2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LP64 PZO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the most recent March 2026 test at 63,789 miles, it failed just weeks prior due to multiple safety-related defects. The transition from a clean record in 2025 to several failures in 2026 indicates that basic maintenance items are only being addressed when necessitated by an MOT failure. At 63,789 miles, this eleven-year-old Fiesta has clocked low mileage, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The gap between the March 2024 test at 47,526 miles and the March 2025 test at 59,991 miles shows a significant spike in usage during that period. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion and degradation of rubber components due to periods of inactivity, which aligns with the condition noted in the latest brake inspection. A buyer must prioritise the front braking system, as both the nearside and offside front brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored during the March 2026 test. Although these did not cause a failure this time, pitting suggests the vehicle has sat stationary or is experiencing environmental corrosion. The previous failure on front tyres due to cuts reaching the cords indicates that the previous owner may have overlooked tyre integrity until it became a legal liability. The in-person inspection should also verify the electrical system and the washer assembly, as these were recent points of failure in the 2026 test. Given the history of failed stop lamps in early 2024, a thorough check of all exterior lighting is necessary to ensure no recurring wiring issues or bulb failures persist under the current ownership pattern.
