2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FD64 FYZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in preventative care. While it passed its most recent MOT on 18 May 2026 at 95,909 miles, it failed the test just days prior due to critical safety defects. The presence of missing wheel fixings on both the offside front and rear alongside failed stop lamps indicates a lack of basic pre-test inspection. The recurring issues with worn brake discs and an exhaust leak suggest that repairs are deferred rather than addressed. At 95,909 miles over eleven years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a car of this age. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 3,000 miles recorded between April 2024 and May 2025, and another 3,200 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not sat idle for long periods, which helps prevent the rapid degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking system. The 2024 advisory regarding worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes, combined with the 2025 report of uneven inner tyre wear, suggests a persistent alignment issue or that the suspension bushings are failing. The current minor exhaust leak at the backbox should be monitored to ensure corrosion does not progress to the structural mounting points. Furthermore, the replacement wheel fixings must be verified to ensure they are genuine and properly torqued, as the previous failure highlighted a lapse in attention to mechanical detail.
