Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
Prioritise a physical inspection of the vehicle's underside. The 2024 MOT failure specifically noted significant corrosion on the offside rear suspension component mounting area (outer sill hold at axle mount). You must ensure this has been professionally repaired and is not a recurring issue.
Ask the seller for evidence of the repairs made following the October 2024 failure. Specifically, request receipts for the suspension arm ball joint replacement, the tyre replacement, and any work carried out to address the oil leak and the structural corrosion. Given the history of axle bush wear, check if these were replaced during the 2024 repair period.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it relatively affordable for younger drivers. Fuel economy for this Fiesta variant is typically efficient for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on maintenance levels.
Tax and insurance costs should be moderate, but be aware that the 'Tyre Pressure Monitoring System' malfunction noted in 2024 could lead to unexpected sensor replacement costs if not fully resolved. Expect typical maintenance costs for a small petrol hatchback, though the history of oil leaks and suspension wear suggests you should budget for potential component replacements in the near future.
The most critical area to inspect is the structural integrity of the sills and axle mounting points. The 2024 MOT failure for 'excessive corrosion' on the offside rear mounting area is a serious red flag that requires visual confirmation of a high-quality repair.
Additionally, check the engine bay for any signs of residual oil residue to ensure the 'front oil leak' noted in 2024 has been adequately addressed. Inspect the tyres for any signs of perishing or cracking, as this was a previous failure point, and listen for knocks or rattles from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces to ensure the ball joints and axle bushes are secure.
This 2015 white Ford Fiesta 1.2L petrol has covered 55,371 miles as of its last recorded MOT in 2024, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,835 miles per year. The MOT history shows a period of instability in late 2024 with a failure involving structural corrosion and suspension components. Although the August 2026 MOT passed with no defects, the previous record of oil leaks and tyre issues suggests a need for careful scrutiny.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
