2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NL15 CGE

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2 October 2025 at 61,818 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry and sits just over eight months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the current certificate remains valid until 1 October 2026. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural failures at any point, which indicates consistent baseline upkeep across multiple test cycles. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light use. Between the July 2023 test at 39,826 miles and the July 2024 test at 54,459 miles, the car covered 14,633 miles in twelve months, a notable jump compared to the roughly 7,359 miles added in the following period up to October 2025. Annualised against its age of approximately eleven years, the total of 61,818 miles works out to around 5,620 miles per year, well below the UK average. The two failed entries on 9 July 2024 and 25 July 2023 both list no defects, suggesting administrative or clerical re-tests rather than genuine mechanical failures, since a defect-free fail is inconsistent with standard DVSA recording practice and likely reflects test-day administrative anomalies. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The low annual mileage and long periods between MOTs raise the possibility of moisture ingress in brake calipers, sticking handbrake mechanisms, and deteriorating rubber suspension bushes that may not manifest as a testable fault until the vehicle is loaded or driven at speed. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the car has spent extended periods stationary. Tyre age and sidewall condition deserve close attention, as low-mileage vehicles frequently need replacement due to perishing rather than tread wear. A short test drive over varied road surfaces will reveal any latent suspension noise or brake drag that a static inspection cannot detect.
