2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CF15 LBJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 26,329 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of recurring mechanical issues. While previous tests identified specific faults in the suspension and tyre-related components, the latest report indicates a clean sheet, suggesting that the owner has recently addressed the flagged defects from the preceding two years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the record, moving from 14,157 miles in August 2021 to 26,329 miles in 2025. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to age, as evidenced by the multiple reports of perishing and cracking tyres in the test history. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, particularly the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint which showed play in both 2023 and 2024. Despite the clean 2025 pass, a physical check for play in the bushes or joints is necessary to ensure the repair was comprehensive. Additionally, the history of sidewall cracking and damage between 2021 and 2023 suggests that the age of the tyres should be checked for dry-rot, as the low mileage often hides structural rubber degradation that occurs before tread depth is exhausted.
