2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EE11 OWE

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 recorded a pass at 67,274 miles, but noted minor issues including light oil misting on nearside front shock absorbers, corroded offside front coil springs, and front tyres with slight cracking. These suggest gradual wear in suspension and tyre condition, though none were classified as safety-critical. A failure occurred just one day earlier at 67,272 miles, revealing more serious concerns: excessive exhaust carbon monoxide, significantly worn front brake discs, and slightly worn rear axle swivel pins. These issues indicate potential engine or emissions system faults, combined with progressive brake and suspension wear. The proximity of the failure and subsequent pass suggests possible temporary fixes or incomplete repairs. Recurring patterns include brake disc wear (noted in 2023, 2025, and 2026 MOTs), tyre damage (repeated since 2023), and suspension component degradation (coil springs, swivel pins). While some issues were addressed (e.g., brake pads in 2023), others resurfaced, implying ongoing maintenance needs. The trend shows a worsening condition, particularly in braking and suspension systems, which are critical for safety. The vehicle’s mileage of 67,274 miles over 11 years aligns with average usage (approx. 6,116 miles per year).
