2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EO15 UOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the latest test in April 2026 at 52,851 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a distorted offside front wheel, the preceding year showed a pattern of immediate action required. The trend suggests a stable mechanical state where components are only addressed once they fail an MOT test, indicating that the owner ignores developing wear items until they reach a legal failure point. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 52,851 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered 4,028 miles, which is consistent with its low-mileage profile, yet this did not prevent the failure of suspension and tyre components during that interval. A buyer must specifically inspect the offside front road wheel, as it has been a recurring defect in both 2025 and 2026. A distorted rim often indicates a past impact, which could have affected the wheel alignment or hub bearings. Furthermore, the history shows the nearside track rod end failed for excessive play in 2024 and for a damaged dust cover in 2025. A physical inspection should verify that these steering components have been properly replaced and that no further play or uneven tyre wear exists in the front suspension assembly. The record also highlights a history of poor tyre management, with both nearside and offside front tyres failing or nearing legal limits repeatedly across the last two test cycles. Because the owner tends to run tyres until they are bald or failing, the buyer should check the remaining depth and age of all four tyres to ensure they are not prematurely perished. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for dry rot in the tyre boots and suspension bushes, which are common in vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
