2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CF15 FPP

The vehicle currently stands as roadworthy, but the MOT record reveals a clear deterioration trend in its mechanical integrity since the 2026-04-21 test, which was the most recent assessment. Since the 2026-04-21 test, the tester has flagged multiple critical issues including a severely worn offside front suspension arm ball joint, excessively worn offside rear sub-frame pin or bushings, and a misaligned front windscreen washer jet. These recurring faults indicate that basic upkeep has been neglected over the past two years, suggesting the vehicle has been sitting unused or under very light use for an extended period. This lack of maintenance has caused the car to lose structural integrity, particularly in the suspension and brake components, which are vital for road safety. The mileage pattern is not uniformly increasing but follows a distinct accumulation pattern that correlates directly with the mechanical wear identified in the MOT history. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 8,032 miles annually, which is consistent with its age of roughly 11 years. This steady, predictable accumulation means that the wear on the drivetrain and suspension bushings has been occurring at a constant rate, reinforcing the conclusion that the car is not currently undergoing normal driving conditions. The gap between the 2026-04-21 test and the 2025-03-29 test is significant, yet the total mileage remains consistent, suggesting that the vehicle has been driven for a substantial portion of the year and that the wear patterns have been stable over time. Given the persistent faults in the suspension, brakes, and windscreen components, a buyer must inspect the car in person to verify the condition of the ball joints, sub-frame bushings, and washers. The presence of pitted or scored brake discs and worn suspension bushings indicates that the mechanical system is not in good shape and that the vehicle requires immediate professional repair. The lack of oil misting on the offside front shock absorbers and the misalignment of the windscreen jet further highlight a lack of regular servicing, which could lead to further failure if the car is driven again. Therefore, the vehicle is not roadworthy and must be serviced urgently before it is driven again.
