2015 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · SY65 ORF

The vehicle holds a valid MOT status, though the record indicates a concerning lapse in recent certification. The last recorded test occurred on 13 November 2023 at 113,660 miles, meaning the car has been without a formal roadworthiness inspection for over seven months. While the vehicle passed its most recent assessment, the recurring advisories suggest a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The trend remains stable regarding minor consumable wear, but the lack of a current certificate necessitates a thorough independent inspection before any purchase. Annual mileage shows a significant acceleration in recent years. Between November 2020 and October 2021, the vehicle covered roughly 13,900 miles, followed by a substantial jump of over 26,000 miles between October 2021 and November 2022. This rapid accumulation of mileage, particularly in the later years of the car's life, indicates heavy usage that likely accelerated the wear on mechanical components. The jump from 95,308 miles to 113,660 miles in the final recorded period suggests the vehicle has been used extensively for long-distance commuting or high-frequency travel. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the exhaust system and brake components. The exhaust back box and rear sections have been flagged for corrosion and deterioration in consecutive tests, indicating that the system is likely nearing the end of its service life. Furthermore, the history of uneven tyre wear across multiple years suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that may have gone unaddressed. You should also check the brake discs for the pitting and scoring noted in the 2020 record, as these parts are prone to accelerated degradation under the high-mileage conditions this vehicle has recently endured.
