2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DV65 KUG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a maintenance trend that has stabilized following a period of mechanical reactivity. The most recent test in September 2025 at 77,108 miles passed with only minor cosmetic defects related to a deteriorated registration plate and a damaged reflector. This follows a successful re in September 2024 where significant steering and visibility issues were addressed immediately, indicating that the current owner is responsive to safety-critical failures once they occur. At 11 years old, the recorded 77,108 miles represent an annual average of approximately 7,000 miles, which aligns with typical low-use urban patterns. The data shows consistent intervals between tests, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 9,700 miles covered by September 2025. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, though low mileage can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and damping assembly. The 2024 failure highlighted excessive play in both nearside and offside track rod ends, while the 2023 record noted a fractured offside rear coil spring and oil mist on the offside front shock absorber. While these were repaired, an inspector should verify there are no further leaks from the shock absorbers or play in the steering linkage to ensure continued stability. Given the previous failure of wiper blades in 2024, checking the wiper arms and blades for clear visibility remains a necessary check for a vehicle of this age.
