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

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 July 2026, confirming its roadworthiness as of that date. The maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumable components, specifically the braking system. While the car passed its most recent test, the immediate failure on the same day for worn brake discs, thin pads, and a faulty tyre pressure monitoring system indicates that the vehicle was presented for inspection without the necessary remedial work. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one, as these items were flagged as advisories in the previous year. The recorded mileage of 77,668 miles over eleven years averages approximately 7,061 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for a Ford Fiesta. The history shows a steady accumulation of miles, with no significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity that might lead to issues like seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The annual testing cadence has remained consistent, indicating that the vehicle has been kept on the road regularly throughout its life. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking hardware, as the recurring advisories and recent failure suggest the discs and pads may have been replaced with budget components or were not serviced correctly. The suspension history, particularly the 2024 failure involving worn rear axle bushes, warrants a check for any residual play or knocking noises from the rear end. Given the previous advisories regarding sub-frame bushes in 2021, ensure the vehicle tracks straight and does not exhibit uneven tyre wear, which could point to lingering geometry issues or degraded suspension bushings that were not fully rectified.

Our Verdict

This 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a generally honest MOT history with typical wear-and-tear items addressed, though recent brake disc advisories and a tyre pressure monitoring system failure require attention. It is a sensible choice for UK buyers, provided you negotiate on the cost of upcoming brake replacements.

When inspecting this Fiesta, verify that the recent July 2026 MOT failure regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has been fully resolved and that the warning light remains off on the dashboard. Check the service book for regular oil and filter changes, paying attention to any history of suspension work given the 2024 rear axle bush failure.

Use the advisory notes on the front brake discs (noted as worn, pitted, or scored in both 2025 and 2026) and thinning brake pads as a strong point for price negotiation. You should factor in the cost of a front brake overhaul soon after purchase.

The 1.25-litre petrol engine in this Fiesta offers economical day-to-day motoring, making it very popular for UK commuters and new drivers alike. Insurance groups for this engine variant are typically low, helping to keep annual policy costs manageable.

Road tax (VED) sits in a moderate band for a 2015 petrol hatchback, and routine maintenance is straightforward with abundant parts availability across the UK. Estimated annual running costs—incorporating fuel, tax, insurance, and typical servicing—range between £1,100 and £1,400 depending on your location and driver profile.

Pay close attention to the front braking system, as MOT tests from July 2025 and July 2026 highlighted worn, pitted, or scored brake discs alongside thinning pads. Ensure the discs and pads are replaced as a pair to restore optimal stopping performance.

Inspect the rear suspension bushes and axle mounting points. A major failure was recorded in July 2024 for excessive wear in the rear axle swivel pins and bushes, though this was repaired; look underneath for any signs of fresh corrosion or premature wear on the replacement components. Finally, check that all dashboard warning lights clear correctly upon starting the engine, confirming the TPMS fault is entirely cured.

First registered in September 2015, this blue Ford Fiesta is powered by a 1.25-litre petrol engine and has covered 77,668 miles. The vehicle has a history of passing its MOTs with a few manageable failures, notably a TPMS malfunction in July 2026 and worn rear axle bushes in 2024, both of which were subsequently rectified. Its mileage progression is steady and expected for an 11-year-old hatchback.

The Ford Fiesta is renowned in the UK for its robust mechanical durability, wide parts availability, and low overall cost of ownership.
