2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FD64 FYX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 16 2026, at 113,800 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach, as faults are only addressed immediately following an MOT failure. The failure just one day prior to the recent pass revealed critical issues including a worn offside front suspension arm ball joint, a failing nearside wiper, and headlight misalignment. While the most recent test is clean, the recurring failures suggest the owner performs only the minimum work required to maintain legal road status. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 27,135 miles recorded between November 2024 and April 2026, indicating a period of high usage where the car covered nearly double its annual average in just seventeen months. This rapid accumulation explains the accelerated wear observed on consumables, such as the pitted and scored brake discs noted in April 2025 and the multiple tyre failures leading up to the April 2026 test. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the history shows recurring ball joint wear and uneven tyre degradation patterns. The presence of slight play in the rear axle bushes in 2026 indicates the beginning of rubber component fatigue that will soon affect handling stability. Furthermore, the repeated advisories regarding pitted brake discs suggest the braking system may be neglected until the point of exhaustion. Verify the current state of the tyre pressure monitoring system and wiper assembly, as these were previous points of failure that indicate a lack of routine preventative maintenance.
