2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YA15 ABF

The most recent MOT, conducted on 5 July 2025 at 78,472 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. That marks the fifth consecutive test without any failure items or advisories, stretching back to August 2021. This is a stable, largely fault-free maintenance record, and there is no evidence of a recurring mechanical problem or a deterioration trend across the vehicle's history. The mileage profile shows an average of roughly 7,100 miles per year, which is typical for an eleven-year-old Ford Fiesta. The pattern of use has, however, been uneven. Between August 2021 and November 2022 the car covered around 10,700 miles, then usage dropped sharply: from November 2022 to July 2025 it accumulated only about 5,300 miles in total. That recent light use is not a concern in itself, but it does mean the car may have spent long periods standing between trips, which can affect brake discs through surface corrosion and cause tyres to develop flat spots. With the DVSA record showing no flagged defects, there is nothing in the history to suggest structural rust, suspension wear, or brake binding. Still, given the vehicle's age and the low recent mileage, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the condition of the brake discs and calipers, the suspension bushes and dampers for perishing, and the general state of the tyres. The underside should also be checked for corrosion, as surface rust can develop quietly on a car that has sat idle for extended stretches. The paperwork history is clean, but physical verification of those consumables remains the sensible next step before purchase.
