2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MC65 FSY

This 2015 Ford Fiesta has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across all tests, including the most recent examination on 20 November 2025 at 49,935 miles. The vehicle’s roadworthiness trend remains stable, with consistent pass results and no advisories or failures to suggest recurring mechanical issues. The lack of any advisory notes in the last three tests—2025, 2024, and 2023—indicates that even minor wear items such as suspension bushes or brake components were either within tolerance or addressed before testing. However, the unusual double entry for December 2024 (a pass at 47,140 miles followed by a failure at 47,139 miles) is anomalous and likely a data anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, as no defects were logged. The recorded mileage of 49,935 miles over approximately 11 years suggests an average of around 4,540 miles per year, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern could imply limited use or prolonged periods of storage, which may have mitigated some wear but also raises questions about fluid changes, tyre rotation, and general maintenance routines. Notably, there are no gaps longer than 12 months between MOT tests, ensuring the vehicle was tested annually as required. The consistency in mileage increments—ranging from 4,238 to 5,057 miles between tests—further supports a stable usage history without abrupt spikes that might indicate neglect or aggressive driving. Given the absence of any recorded defects or advisories, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to wear over time, particularly those not directly tested under MOT regulations. The suspension system—including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear, fluid leaks, or excessive play, as these are common points of failure in vehicles of this age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear patterns or signs of overheating, while the exhaust system must be inspected for corrosion or binding, especially around joints and mounts. Additionally, the underbody should be scrutinised for signs of structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, which can compromise structural integrity even if the vehicle has been lightly used. Tyres, though not failing in MOT tests, should be assessed for uneven tread wear or signs of age-related degradation, as low mileage does not necessarily correlate with tyre health.
