Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following its most recent passed MOT on 9 February 2026 at 55,840 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes once minor administrative failures were resolved. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear in the DVLA data. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,076 miles per year against an eleven-year lifespan, a low figure for this model. The record moves from 47,788 miles on 8 February 2024 to 51,019 miles on 17 February 2025, then 55,840 miles by February 2026. That is about 3,200 to 4,800 miles added each year. The data is sparse but clean, with no gaps longer than twelve months and no sudden accumulation suggesting hard use. The February 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests all returned no defects, so the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues at those mileages. The two failed entries on 14 February 2025 and 9 February 2026 recorded no defects, implying paperwork or identification mismatch rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and caliper operation given the car's age and low yearly use, which can hide perished rubber and seized linkages from standing. Verify service history independently, as the MOT alone confirms statutory compliance, not component lubrication or cambelt interval care.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Our Verdict

A sensible purchase for those seeking a low-mileage example of this popular hatchback. The recent MOT history shows a pattern of minor issues being resolved immediately, resulting in a clean recent record.

When viewing this white 1.2L Fiesta, focus on the service history to complement the MOT data. While the MOT records show no defects at the most recent test in February 2026, you should verify that the mechanical repairs required during the 2025 and 2026 failures were documented in a service book or digital record.

Negotiate based on the fact that while the mileage is low, the vehicle has required two MOT failures in the last two years. Check the condition of the tyres and exhaust, as these are noted as common failure points for this model across the wider fleet of 1.5 million vehicles analysed.

The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine variant is typically competitive for a small hatchback.

Maintenance costs are expected to be standard for a Ford, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and brake components. Given the low mileage, annual running costs are estimated to be relatively moderate.

Pay close attention to the headlamps and exhaust system during your inspection, as these are the most frequent failure reasons for the Ford Fiesta model aggregate. Even though this specific vehicle passed its last test without defects, these components are high-wear areas.

Additionally, inspect the tyre tread and sidewall condition. Since the vehicle has experienced two MOT failures in the last two years (at 51,017 and 55,839 miles), ensure that any previous issues related to these components have been addressed with quality parts.

This 2015 Ford Fiesta features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 55,840 miles as of February 2026. Compared to the model average annual mileage of 5,839, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical example of its age. The MOT history shows three consecutive passes since 2024, with failures in 2025 and 2026 being rectified within the same testing period.

Aggregate data from over 1.5 million Fiestas shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with headlamps, exhausts, and tyres being the primary failure drivers.
