2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BK15 BYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in attention to consumable components. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 75,336 miles, the car failed just 23 miles prior due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and multiple tyre defects. While it passed the re-test, the presence of an exhaust leak at the flexi-pipe and perished rubber across all four tyres suggests the owner only addresses issues upon MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 50,992 miles and November 2025 at 75,336 miles, the car covered over 24,000 miles, indicating steady annual use. However, the jump of 7,235 miles between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests shows a recent increase in usage which correlates with the rapid degradation of the tyre components noted in the latest records. A buyer must inspect the rear sub-frame closely, as testers flagged worn pins or bushes in both 2022 and 2023. While these did not result in a failure, the recurring nature indicates ongoing structural wear or corrosion that could eventually compromise the chassis integrity. The brake history also shows a pattern of scored front discs in 2022 and 2023, suggesting the braking system may be nearing the end of its effective life. The exhaust flexi-pipe leak identified in late 2025 requires immediate mechanical verification as these components are prone to further structural failure if left untreated. Given the history of perishing and uneven tyre wear, a full physical inspection of the current set of tyres, including checking for alignment issues, is essential to ensure the vehicle is not suffering from underlying suspension faults.
