2015 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · AF65 TBY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear progression of deteriorating rubber and suspension components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 61,772 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories across all four tyres and the rear axle bushes. This represents a shift from the clean record in 2023, indicating that the vehicle is now showing signs of age-related degradation despite the low overall mileage. At 11 years old with 61,772 miles, this Fiesta has covered a low average of approximately 5,600 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 2,800 miles driven between the November 2024 and 2025 tests. However, the low usage often contributes to the perishing of rubber components, like the cracking and perishing noted in the 2024 and 2025 records, which suggest the tyres are drying out from age rather than wearing out from heavy use. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension specifically, as the November 2025 test flagged both axle swivel pins and bushes as slightly worn. These issues eventually manifest as clunking noises or steering instability if not addressed. The recurring history of tyres being worn to the legal limit or perishing across 2022, 2024, and 2025 suggests a reactive maintenance style rather than proactive replacement. Additionally, the failure in 2022 due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp should be verified to ensure the engine management system was properly rectified and not currently masking faults.
