2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EF15 CZG

A consistent history of minor electrical faults and steering joint wear defines the roadworthiness profile of this 2015 Ford Fiesta, culminating in a pass on 2026-05-22 after an initial failure for an incorrectly projected nearside headlamp beam. Over six tests spanning from 2021 to 2026, the vehicle has accumulated two major failures involving lighting components, alongside recurring advisories for track rod play, rear axle bush wear, and minor lens damage. While the latest test shows a clear pass with no current defects recorded, the overall record points to a pattern of peripheral component degradation that requires regular vigilance rather than systemic neglect. With a recorded mileage of 104,006 miles across its eleven-year lifespan, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 9,455 miles annually, aligning closely with typical UK driving patterns. This steady accumulation rate indicates consistent, moderate use without extended periods of inactivity or severe over-mileage accumulation. Mechanically, this usage profile means that standard wear and tear will be distributed evenly across the drivetrain, suspension, and braking assemblies, reducing the risk of deterioration associated with long-term static storage, while still placing standard demands on high-friction consumables. When evaluating the car on a test drive, prospective buyers must pay close attention to the front steering and rear suspension assemblies, specifically referencing the past advisories for offside track rod end play and rear axle swivel pin and bush wear. Listen closely for knocking, clunking, or play when navigating over potholes, uneven road surfaces, or speed humps, and check for any looseness or vagueness in the steering response. Additionally, verify that the tracking is true and that the vehicle does not pull to one side under braking or acceleration. Finally, a thorough functional check of all exterior lighting is essential given the history of recurring lighting defects, including the recent headlamp beam aim failure and past stop lamp and side repeater faults. Ensure that all indicators, brake lamps, headlights, and side repeaters operate correctly and securely. Inspect the inner edges of the rear tyres for uneven wear patterns, referencing the earlier advisory for edge wear, to confirm that the rear axle geometry remains properly aligned.
