2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EN64 VFV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding braking-related components. While it passed the most recent test in January 2026 at 73,974 miles, the tester flagged pitted and scored front brake discs alongside a binding offside front service brake. This follows a recurring issue seen in the 2025 and 2024 tests, where the front discs were noted as worn and pitted. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. The record shows steady progression, moving from 46,891 miles in early 2022 to 73,974 miles by early 2026. This low accumulation suggests the vehicle was not subjected to heavy motorway stress, though the appearance of brake issues after years of clean records in 2022 and 2023 indicates may be used for short trips or that the components have suffered from corrosion during periods of inactivity. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system, as the persistent reports of pitted discs and binding calipers suggest that components are being neglected or that a caliper piston is failing. The 2024 advisory also noted inner tyre wear close to the legal limit, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked now. The damaged front registration plate mentioned in 2025 should be verified as having been replaced to avoid future failures for legibility.
