2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · AD15 GDK

The most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-08-08, shows a mixed result. The vehicle passed with issues noted on the rear registration plate, front suspension arm ball joint, and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit. However, a failed MOT on the same date highlighted more serious concerns, including a rear brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored, and rear brake pads below 1.5 mm thickness. These findings suggest the vehicle was driven with known braking issues, which is a serious safety concern. A recurring pattern appears across the MOT history: wear on suspension and steering components, such as ball joints and sub-frame bushes, is evident. These are not isolated incidents but have been repeated over multiple tests. The front and rear brake systems have also been flagged multiple times, indicating a trend of progressive wear that may be worsening due to age and continued use. The recorded mileage of 94,533 miles over 11 years is roughly in line with average expectations, but the frequency and severity of MOT failures suggest that the vehicle has experienced significant mechanical stress. This could be due to hard use or insufficient maintenance. The presence of multiple suspension and braking faults in close succession suggests a deterioration in mechanical condition rather than stable or improving performance.
