2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CA15 OBN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 97,168 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior involving multiple mechanical faults. The trend shows a recurring pattern of suspension and wear-related issues being addressed only once they reach the point of inspection failure, suggesting the previous owner performed the minimum work required to remain legal rather than conducting routine preventative maintenance. At 97,168 miles over 11 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 8,833 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The record shows consistent annual mileage of roughly 13,000 miles between 2024 and 2025, and another 20,000 miles by early 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, though the age of the rubber and metal components indicates that parts are reaching the end of their functional life regardless of the moderate mileage. A buyer must inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the tester flagged a nearside front suspension arm ball joint in January 2026 and a corroded offside rear coil spring during the same session. The history of perished axle bushes and swivel pins in both 2023 and 2025 indicates the rear suspension assembly is prone to significant degradation. Furthermore, the repeated reports of thin brake pads, pitted discs, and uneven tyre wear across multiple years suggest alignment issues may be present, which is causing premature consumable wear on the front tyres.
