2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DS15 VFX

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor mechanical wear. The most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 53,643 miles identified a slight engine oil leak and thin front inner brake pads. This mirrors a defect noted in June 2023 at 50,196 miles, indicating that the front braking system is requiring attention despite the vehicle's low annual usage. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eleven-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 4,877 miles per year. Between September 2021 and June 2025, the car covered 8,294 miles, suggesting a history of short-distance trips or long periods of storage. This lack of heavy accumulation typically benefits the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. However, the low-mileage profile can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or surface corrosion of brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the engine bay to determine if the oil leak noted in 2025 is a minor gasket seep or a more significant seal failure. Given the recurring mention of thin front brake pads, a thorough check of the remaining calipers and discs is necessary to ensure they are not scored or excessively pitted. The buyer should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related rot rather than mechanical wear.
