2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MT65 ABN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean history to reactive component replacement. The most recent test in December 2025 at 25,893 miles passed with a recurring advisory for front brake discs being pitted and scored. This issue mirrors the advisory found in December 2024 at 23,380 miles, indicating that the braking system is suffering from surface corrosion despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,350 miles per year. The record shows a clean period between 2019 and 2020, where no defects were noted as the car climbed from 11,421 to 14,126 miles. However, the frequency of advisories has increased since 2021, suggesting the low usage is causing age-related issues common in cars that sit for long periods, leading to the degradation of metal surfaces and rubber components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front brake assembly, as the persistent pitting and scoring suggest the discs are nearing the point of replacement. The 2021 failure involving a fractured offside rear coil spring and thin brake pads indicates that mechanical components are only addressed once they fail a test rather than through preventative servicing. Furthermore, the recurring reports of tyres worn to the legal limit between 2021 and 2023 suggest the vehicle may have alignment issues or uneven wear due to flat spotting from short-distance driving cycles.
