2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · FV15 FDZ

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following a clean pass in the March 2026 test at 97,759 miles. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement after a period of mechanical decline between 2023 and 2024. While the 2023 test revealed several serious failures regarding corroded coil springs and noisy exhaust components, the most recent records indicate these issues have been addressed. The absence of advisories in the latest inspection suggests the previous mechanical instability has been resolved. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 42,904 in January 2018 to 97,759 in March 2026. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. This steady progression suggests a predictable wear pattern on consumable components and drivetrain elements. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically the coil springs and axle bushes. The 2023 failure for corroded coil springs and the 2024 advisory regarding worn axle swivel pins and bushes indicate that the chassis and suspension components have been subject to significant stress or environmental degradation. Although the 2026 test was clear, verifying the integrity of these mounting points and bushes is necessary to ensure the previous repairs were comprehensive. The repeated mention of missing rear seats and seat belts between 2023 and 2025 suggests the vehicle was used for non-standard purposes or underwent interior stripping. Ensure all passenger seating and safety restraints are fully present and functional. Additionally, check the condition of the rear brake discs and the exhaust system to confirm that the pitting and noise issues noted in the 2023 records have been effectively rectified.
