Our Verdict
This 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a mixed picture. While most MOTs show no defects, a 2023 failure for a fractured rear coil spring raises concerns about structural integrity. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,757 miles is slightly above average for its age, and buyers should scrutinize repair history before proceeding.
Prioritize inspecting the rear suspension system for signs of prior repair or ongoing issues related to the fractured coil spring. Verify if the defect was fully resolved and review service records for any associated work. The vehicle’s diesel engine is generally reliable, but check for oil consumption or soot buildup common in older diesels. Negotiate the price to account for the 2023 MOT failure and higher-than-average mileage. Be wary of any hidden body damage or rust, particularly around the rear suspension area.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.5L Fiesta is typically 55-60 mpg, translating to moderate running costs. The vehicle falls into Band 12 for road tax (£155/yr) due to its CO2 emissions. Insurance groups for the Fiesta range from 15-20, resulting in average premiums of £500-£700 annually. Maintenance costs may rise due to the 2023 suspension repair, with coil spring replacements costing £300-£500. Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,000.
Focus on the rear suspension components, particularly the nearside rear coil spring, for signs of prior replacement or stress fractures. Check for rust or corrosion around the chassis and wheel arches, which could indicate structural issues. Inspect the front washer system, as it showed intermittent operation in the latest MOT. Review service history for records of suspension work and ensure the vehicle has no unexplained body damage or alignment problems.
The 2015 Ford Fiesta has a generally clean MOT history, with only one significant failure in 2023 for a fractured rear coil spring. At 65,757 miles, the odometer reading is slightly higher than typical for an 11-year-old vehicle, which may indicate heavier usage. No aggregate reliability data is available for the Fiesta model, but the single suspension-related failure warrants caution.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Ford Fiesta model to assess broader reliability trends.
