2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · AY15 LDL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 with 175,895 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory regarding compliance. While the car failed its inspections in 2024 and 2025, the subsequent re-tests were clean with no recorded defects. This suggests that the previous owner addressed the mechanical failures identified by the tester and successfully secured a passing grade thereafter. The mileage profile is significantly high for an eleven-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent and heavy usage patterns, with 24,044 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 5,171 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. This rate of accumulation places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The lack of long gaps indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting idle. A buyer should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the components most susceptible to wear under high mileage conditions. Given the history, check for excessive play in suspension arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these degrade rapidly at 175,000 miles. Examine the brake discs for thinning and signs of binding calipers, despite the recent MOT pass. The underbody should also be inspected for corrosion on the sills and mounting points to ensure the high-mile use has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
