2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AX15 MVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 23,372 miles resulted in a failure due to an ineffective nearsside windscreen wiper, a nearside front tyre with exposed cords, and corroded front brake discs. While the vehicle passed upon rectification, these failures indicate the owner only addressed safety-critical items once they failed rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,125 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 19,119 miles and August 2025 at 23,372 miles, the car covered only 4,253 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has sat for long periods, which frequently leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces, as evidenced by the corroded brake discs noted in the 2025 test. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 test at 21,422 miles flagged both front inner tyres as being worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the lower gearbox mount with slight play recorded in 2022 should be checked for excessive movement or tearing now. Given the low mileage, the age of the tyres and the condition of the brake lines are critical, as rubber can crack over time even if the tread is fully deep.
