2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GU15 OML

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred suspension and braking repairs. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 58,813 miles showed a pass following a failure just day prior. While the fractured nearside rear coil spring was rectified, several advisories persist, including offside front suspension ball joint play and worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes. These recurring issues suggest that the owner only addresses components once they trigger a failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 58,813 miles, this 11-year-old Fiesta has clocked low mileage, averaging approximately 5,347 miles per year. The data shows a significant stagnation in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the car covered only 3,661 miles in twelve months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces, which is consistent with the recurring failures of perished bushes and fractured springs noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the offside arm ball joint has been flagged for play since 2023. The braking system also shows a pattern of neglect; front discs have been noted as worn, pitted, or scored across the last three tests, indicating they are nearing the end of their functional life. Particular attention should be paid to the rear axle area to check for signs of corrosion or further bushing failure, as the persistent wear on the swivel pins indicates they will likely fail again shortly.
