2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EF15 CUW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension and structural components. While the most recent test on August 27 2025 at 88,203 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just two miles prior. This failure identified a non-functional washer, a corroded offside rear coil spring, and worn sub-frame bushes. The persistence of these suspension issues suggests that the chassis components are reaching the end of their service life. At 88,203 miles over eleven years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a car of this age. The mileage progression is consistent, with roughly 4,600 miles driven between the September 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 2,700 miles between September 2023 and 2024. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent dry-related degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and axle assembly. The record repeatedly flags worn pins and bushes on the nearside and offside rear sub-frame dating back to 2023. Additionally, the corroded offside rear coil spring noted in 2025 requires close attention to ensure the rust has not compromised the structural integrity of the spring. The light misting on the nearside shock absorber noted in 2023 should also be checked for active leaks that would indicate an imminent failure of the damper.
