2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YC65 FXH

The 2015 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT, conducted on 17 September 2025, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This marks a stable maintenance pattern over the past three years, with no recurring advisories or failures beyond the single anomaly in September 2023—a test that unexpectedly failed before being retested and passed the following day. The absence of structural or mechanical advisories in any of the five recorded tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent issues with suspension integrity, binding brakes, or critical corrosion. However, the lack of defects does not preclude wear that falls outside MOT scope, such as gradual suspension bush degradation or minor frame corrosion. Mileage data is insufficient to draw meaningful conclusions about usage patterns, as the recorded figures from 2022 to 2023 show only a marginal increase of 551 miles over a year—28,884 to 29,337—before a sudden jump to 29,686 miles by September 2024. The absence of mileage readings for the 2023 failure and retest complicates analysis, but the overall trend suggests low annual mileage, which could imply either infrequent use or an incomplete record. Without a V5C or service history, it remains impossible to verify whether the vehicle has been stored improperly or driven under varied conditions. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear in Fiestas of this age. The 2023 failure—despite no recorded defects—could hint at a minor oversight, so checking for binding rear calipers or uneven brake pad wear would be prudent. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on wheel arches, sills, and the subframe for signs of corrosion, as these areas are frequently overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. Tyre condition, despite not being MOT-failed, warrants scrutiny, as the absence of tread advisories might mask uneven wear or age-related degradation.
