2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BW64 ENY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in the March 2025 test. The maintenance trend appears stable, as previous mechanical failures were addressed immediately upon discovery. The failure on 17 March 20255 due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring was rectified quickly, resulting in a pass the following day. This indicates that the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects identified by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,314 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered only 170 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary time or very infrequent use. While this low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also increase the risk of rubber-based components degrading, brake calipers seizing, or fluid contamination due to lack of circulation. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of dry rot or perished rubber, as the low mileage often masks age-related deterioration. The previous failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system in March 2023 should be verified to ensure the sensors or control unit remain fully functional. Given the fractured coil spring noted in 2025, a thorough check of the suspension geometry and bushes for uneven wear or excessive corrosion is necessary to ensure the low-usage history has not caused poorly distributed stress across the chassis.
