Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, although a minor failure earlier in that same month due to lighting issues—specifically a faulty dipped beam and an incorrect bulb colour—indicates that immediate repairs are addressed promptly. This suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical test requirements once they are identified. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a notable usage gap of roughly 15,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, followed by another 15,000-mile interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This reflects regular, predictable use, and the relatively low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to rubber degradation from the car sitting. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the history shows a recurring issue with front tyres wearing unevenly or reaching the legal limit simultaneously across multiple consecutive years. This often indicates a tracking fault or worn suspension components. Additionally, while the brake discs were noted as worn in 2023, the buyer should verify the current thickness of pads and rotors to ensure the system has been maintained since that advisory.

Our Verdict

A recommended purchase for those seeking

Prioritise reviewing the full service history to confirm regular oil and filter changes, as MOT records only reflect roadworthiness and not mechanical maintenance. Given the recurring tyre advisories in 2024 and 2025, check the current tread depth and look for uneven wear that might suggest an alignment issue. You may also wish to ask if the front brake discs, noted as worn in October 2023, have since been replaced.

The 1.0L engine is designed for economy, typically resulting in low fuel consumption and a modest annual road tax bill. Insurance groups for this model are generally low, making it a cost-effective choice for urban commuting or new drivers.

Annual expenses will primarily consist of fuel, insurance, and routine consumables like tyres and brakes. Based on the vehicle's age and engine size, maintenance costs should remain predictable.

Verify that the headlamps are now operating correctly and are of the legal colour, following the failure recorded in April 2026. Closely inspect the front tyres for wear and the brake discs for pitting or thinning, as these were flagged as advisories in 2023, 2024, and 2025.

Additionally, check the exhaust system and coil springs for signs of corrosion or fatigue, as these are identified as top failure reasons for Fiestas across the wider aggregate data.

This blue 2015 Ford Fiesta, powered by a 998cc petrol engine, has recorded 81,685 miles. The MOT history is relatively clean, with the most recent failure in April 2026 being limited to headlamp issues which were resolved on the same day. While the mileage is slightly above the model average, the recorded defects have primarily been routine wear-and-tear items.

The Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs being the most common failure points.
