2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AX64 EWK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension-related wear components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 102,155 miles passed, it carried multiple advisories for a loose nearside front suspension arm ball joint and worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes. These issues represent a progression from defects noted in late 2024, indicating that the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life and will require proactive replacement. At 102,155 miles over 11 years, the Ford Fiesta has averaged approximately 9,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK road use patterns. The record shows a significant period of activity between January 2023 (81,127 miles) and December 2024 (94,861 miles), where the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles in two years. This spike in usage coincides with the appearance of several mechanical faults, including a leaking offside front brake hose and a tyre pressure monitoring system failure. A buyer must personally inspect the front engine bay to assess the extent of the oil leak flagged in 2024, as the tester noted it was not excessive but remains persistent. The recurring advisories for the rear axle swivel pins and bushes across multiple tests are a primary concern for handling stability, as these components can lead to steering inaccuracies and uneven tyre if not addressed. Given the history of worn brake discs and thin pads recorded in early 2024, the current state of the braking system should be verified to ensure they have been replaced since that advisory.
