2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LR15 AEG

This Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness record over its recent history, with no defects logged in any of the five MOT tests spanning from February 2023 to September 2025. The most recent entries—two tests in September 2025 at 59,211 and 59,220 miles—both passed without advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle met all DVSA thresholds for emissions, brakes, lights, and structural integrity at that point. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests that routine maintenance has been addressed, though the repeated failure to pass the first test in 2025 (despite no recorded defects) may warrant clarification from the seller, as this is unusual. Overall, the trend is positive, with no signs of deteriorating mechanical or safety-related issues in the documented period. The Fiesta’s mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low for its age, averaging just over 5,300 miles per year since 2015. Between September 2023 (51,599 miles) and September 2025 (59,220 miles), the vehicle covered only 7,621 miles in two years—a pace that implies either very light use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the February 2023 test (51,506 miles) and the next MOT in September 2023 (51,599 miles) covers just 93 miles over seven months, reinforcing this pattern. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, but it also means components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and fluid seals may not have been exercised regularly. This could lead to stiffness or degradation in parts that rely on consistent movement, particularly if the car has spent extended periods unused. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. The suspension—particularly the rear—should be checked for any signs of stiffness or uneven wear, as low mileage can mask early bush or spring fatigue until driven harder. Brakes, while not flagged, should be inspected for binding or uneven pad wear, especially if the car has been stood for long periods. Exhaust emissions were clearly compliant in the latest tests, but a visual check for rust or leaks in the system is prudent. Structural corrosion, though not mentioned in the records, is a risk for a vehicle of this age, so the underside, wheel arches, and sills should be examined for any signs of deterioration. Finally, fluid levels—brake, coolant, and power steering—should be confirmed as part of due diligence, as stagnant fluids can degrade over time even with minimal use.
