2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · NJ15 CUX

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-12 recorded several issues, including brake binding on both front wheels (1.2.1 (f)), a loose heat shield, and corrosion on the front and rear sub-frames (5.3.3 (b) (i)). These defects suggest ongoing wear in braking systems and structural components, though none were classified as serious. The brake binding could indicate uneven pad wear, caliper issues, or rotor warping, while the corrosion points to potential exposure to moisture or road salt. The MOT history shows a mixed pattern. From 2022 to 2025, there were periods of clean results, but recurring non-structural issues emerged, such as non-standard wheel nuts (2024, 2023) and a broken exhaust flexi pipe (2024). These suggest inconsistent maintenance or repairs, possibly by previous owners. The 2026 corrosion findings are new, raising concerns about long-term exposure to environmental factors. However, no major safety risks were flagged in the latest test, and the vehicle remains roadworthy. The mileage of 88,936 miles over 11 years aligns with average usage (approx. 8,085 miles per year).
