2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SM14 LOZ

The 2015 Ford Fiesta currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT on 27 January 2026 at 65,423 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains consistent, though the record shows an anomaly earlier that same week. On 23 January 2026 at 65,361 miles and again on 27 January 2026 at 65,423 miles, the vehicle failed its MOT, yet both failures list no defects. This discrepancy strongly suggests administrative or database entry errors rather than actual mechanical faults, given the immediate clean pass recorded at the exact same mileage. The mileage accumulation reveals a shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's eleven-year lifespan. While the lifetime average sits at roughly 5,948 miles per year, indicating generally low mileage, the recent two years show a notable increase in activity. Between 23 January 2024 at 48,297 miles and 21 January 2025 at 56,759 miles, the car covered 8,462 miles. This trend continued over the following year, adding 8,602 miles by 23 January 2026. The current usage rate of approximately 8,500 miles annually is significantly higher than the historical average, pointing to a recent change in ownership or driving habits. Despite the clean MOT record, the absence of any recorded advisories or defects across five years of testing warrants a cautious physical inspection. A vehicle averaging under 6,000 miles annually over its life risks deterioration from prolonged standing rather than use. A buyer must inspect the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion that can cause binding, and examine the suspension bushes for perishing. The exhaust system and structural underpinnings require close scrutiny for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from moisture accumulation and rust in areas that regular high-speed driving would otherwise keep dry.
