2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SD15 BVA

The maintenance trend for this 2015 Ford Fiesta is stable, culminating in a clean pass on 13 October 2025 at 138,802 miles with zero defects recorded. A duplicate entry on the same date shows a failed test with no defects, which points to a DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the entire recorded history, the tester flagged no recurring issues or advisories, indicating the car has remained mechanically sound and free of progressive faults. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct shift in usage. Between the April 2022 test at 91,904 miles and the June 2023 test at 111,178 miles, the car covered 19,274 miles in just over a year, reflecting heavy, consistent use. This high annual mileage continued through the October 2024 test at 127,423 miles. However, the odometer reading has not advanced since the October 2024 test, remaining static at 138,802 miles through the October 2025 test. This zero-mileage accumulation over the last twelve months strongly suggests the vehicle has been standing stationary for an extended period. Prolonged stationary storage introduces specific risks that a standard MOT does not capture. A buyer must inspect the tyres for flat-spotting and sidewall perishing, as rubber compounds degrade when a vehicle sits in one position. Brake discs will almost certainly exhibit surface corrosion from sitting damp, requiring a road test to check for binding calipers or pedal pulsation. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers may have dried out or seized during the downtime, compromising ride quality and structural integrity. Fluids demand close scrutiny. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, lowering its boiling point, while coolant inhibitors degrade. The battery is a primary concern; deep discharge during long-term storage often kills older units, so a load test is essential. Inspect the exhaust system for internal condensation corrosion and check the drivetrain for any signs of seizure from lack of use.
