2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · RF65 NHV

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 7 April 2025 at 20,730 miles showing no defects—an outcome repeated across all four recorded inspections since 2022. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well maintained within the MOT testing framework, with no recurring advisories or failures to indicate deteriorating mechanical or structural issues. The absence of even minor defects in the latest test is particularly notable, as it implies no immediate concerns with critical systems such as brakes, suspension, or emissions. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, as some wear items—like tyres, brake pads, or suspension components—may fall outside MOT scrutiny but still require attention. The car’s mileage of 20,730 miles over 11 years —averaging just 1,885 miles annually —is exceptionally low for its age, raising questions about its usage history. Such minimal mileage could indicate infrequent driving, prolonged periods of inactivity, or even potential odometer irregularities. The steady annual mileage increments (e.g., 1,676 miles between April 2023 and April 2024 , 2,541 miles between April 2024 and April 2025 ) suggest no sudden changes in usage patterns, but the overall low mileage may mask hidden wear in components like seals, fluids, or electrical systems that typically degrade over time rather than distance. Buyers should verify the vehicle’s service records to confirm whether it has been regularly maintained beyond MOT compliance, particularly for items like brake fluid, coolant, and suspension lubrication. Given the sparse MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection should prioritise brake system integrity , including the condition of calipers, discs, and pads, as well as suspension components such as coil springs, bushes, and dampers for signs of corrosion or wear. The exhaust system should be checked for rust or leaks, especially in older Fiestas prone to corrosion. While the MOT record shows no defects, low-mileage vehicles can still develop issues from prolonged inactivity—such as seized bearings, degraded rubber seals, or electrical faults—so a comprehensive check of fluids, belts, and battery health is advisable. The absence of advisories in the past four tests is a positive indicator, but the car’s limited mileage means some wear may not yet be visible or detectable through standard testing.
