2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BF65 FCM

The vehicle appears to be in a stable but maintenance-heavy state, with the most recent test on 16 February 2026 showing a pass despite an advisory for a worn offside front tyre. While the car has passed its last three annual tests, the record shows a clear trend of recurring suspension and tyre issues. The transition from a failure in February 2024 to a pass in February 2025 suggests that significant repairs were carried out, specifically addressing the fractured offside rear coil spring and the front suspension arm ball joint. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 46,283 miles in February 2023 to 69,323 miles in February 2026. This gradual increase suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial application. The lack of sudden mileage spikes indicates the vehicle has likely been used for standard commuting or local trips. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and steering components. The MOT history shows persistent issues with axle bushes and swivel pins, which were flagged in February 2024 and reappeared as advisories in February 2025. This pattern suggests that while the components were addressed, the wear on the rear axle bushes may be a recurring weakness on this vehicle. The tester also noted worn inner edges on the offside front tyre in the 2026 test, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushings. The recent advisory regarding tyre wear and the historical issues with ball joints and coil springs mean the underside of the car requires a thorough check. I recommend inspecting the condition of all suspension bushes, the integrity of the coil springs, and the wheel alignment. Ensuring that the recent tyre wear is not caused by underlying geometry faults will be essential to avoid immediate replacement costs.
