FORD FIESTA2015 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in September 2025 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement following a period of mechanical failures and advisories in 2023 and 2024. This suggests that identified issues were addressed, bringing the car back to a clean status at the present. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, with only 22,637 miles recorded. This averages to approximately 2,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between September 2023 and September 2025, where the car covered only 5,300 miles over two years. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods between drives often lead to rubber-based components deteriorating due to age rather than mechanical friction. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these areas have shown recurring concerns. The 2024 test noted corrosion on the front Macpherson struts and artwork hose ferrules; while these passed the subsequent test, they should be monitored to ensure the corrosion has not progressed. Additionally, the 2023 failure regarding worn rear axle swivel pins and perishing tyres indicates that rubber components are susceptible to drying and cracking due to the vehicle's low usage. Given the history of perishing tyres, the sidewalls of the current set should be checked for hairline cracks regardless of remaining tread depth.
