2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CK15 AEC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 57,403 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving maintenance trend following a period of recurring mechanical advisories. While the latest test is clean, the historical data shows that the owner eventually addressed persistent suspension issues that were flagged between 2024 and 2025. At 11 years old, the recorded 57,403 miles represent low usage, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. The mileage pattern appears consistent, with annual increments of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles in recent years. This low mileage often suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy-duty wear, but it can also correlate with age-related degradation of rubber components and accelerated oxidation of metal parts, which is consistent with the specific corrosion issues noted in the record. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly given the faults noted in previous tests. The 2024 and 2025 tests both highlighted slight wear on the rear axle swivel pins and bushes alongside corrosion on both rear coil springs. Although the 2026 test showed no defects, the buyer must verify that these springs have been replaced or that the corrosion has not progressed to a point of compromising structural integrity or vehicle handling. The 2020 record indicates all four tyres were near the legal limit, suggesting a pattern where consumables are replaced only upon failure rather than as preventative maintenance. Check the current tyre tread depth and age-dotting to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in perished rubber or mismatched brands. Focus on the undercarriage for signs of surface rust, as the previous presence of corroded springs suggests the environment may be prone to moisture retention.
