2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BD65 FCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 22, 2026 at 85,235 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than a proactive one. A failure occurred just six days prior to that pass at 84,960 miles due to an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint. While the immediate fault was rectified, the history indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical defects once they fail inspection rather than replacing components during routine servicing. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,750 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between April 2025 and April 2026, where the car covered 16,000 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation explains the accelerated wear seen on suspension components. In the September 2024 test at 66,746 miles, the tester flagged a front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, suggesting potential alignment issues or uneven wear during that period of higher use. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the recent ball joint replacement did not leave secondary issues, such as worn bushes or tie rod ends, untouched. Given the previous tyre wear noted in 2024, a professional alignment check is necessary to prevent premature degradation of new rubber. While the vehicle shows no recorded structural advisories in the history, the age of the Fiesta warrants a close look for surface corrosion on the sills and brake lines, which are common failure points for this model as it ages.
