2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FD64 FYR

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 85,078 miles resulted in a failure due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, though the subsequent pass indicates the exhaust leak and loose heatshield were addressed. The recurring presence of corroded rear coil springs and thinning brake components across multiple years suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when they threatened an MOT certificate rather than performing preventative maintenance on consumables. At 85,081 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 7,735 miles per year over its eleven-year life, which aligns with typical national averages for this age. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 5,000 to 9,000 miles covered between October tests. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent flat-spotting tyres, but the age of the vehicle naturally impacts the rubber components and metal surfaces, as evidenced by the persistent corrosion noted in the records. A buyer must specifically inspect the front braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows a clear trend of worn brake pads and pitted discs dating back to 2022, which should be checked for current thickness and uneven wear that might indicate a sticking caliper. The corroded rear coil springs flagged in 2025 are a point of concern as they should be inspected for structural cracks that could lead to a sudden failure. Furthermore, the front exhaust leak mentioned in the latest test should be verified to ensure the repair was effective and not merely a temporary fix.
