2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FE15 PDU

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a mixed maintenance picture. The most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 at 91,375 miles passed, but the tester flagged four separate advisories. Both front brake pads were wearing thin, and both rear suspension arm beam bushes were worn, though not yet causing excessive movement. This is a notable deterioration from the clean pass recorded on 18 November 2022 at 58,304 miles. The trend since then has been worsening, with defects reappearing in consecutive annual tests rather than being permanently resolved. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an eleven-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,307 miles per year. The jump from 72,823 miles on 1 December 2023 to 87,433 miles on 28 November 2024 represents approximately 14,610 miles in under twelve months, a notably higher annual rate than the vehicle's overall average. This suggests a period of heavier use, which may explain the accelerated wear on front tyres flagged in the December 2023 test and the subsequent brake and suspension wear appearing in 2024 and 2025. The mileage then appears to have plateaued entirely, with the November 2025 test recording 91,375 miles, identical to the figure already shown, raising a question about whether the vehicle has been stationary or whether a recording anomaly exists. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension bushes, which have now appeared as advisories in the most recent test after two consecutive clean passes. Worn beam bushes affect rear axle alignment and can cause uneven tyre wear and vague handling, particularly over uneven surfaces. The front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting either a recurring issue with pad quality, caliper drag, or simply deferred replacement. Inspect the front brake discs for scoring and check whether the calipers are binding. The inner edge wear noted on both front tyres in December 2023 points to possible tracking or suspension geometry issues that may have persisted. Have the rear suspension bushes, front brake components, and wheel alignment inspected thoroughly before purchase.
