2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HF65 GZD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 65,777 miles, this followed an immediate failure for a stop lamp, axle bush deterioration, and tyre wear. The history shows a pattern of multiple failures occurring shortly before successful passes, suggesting that defects are only being addressed once they reach the point of legalion. At 65,777 miles over 11 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. However, there is a notable gap of nearly 15,000 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain, long periods of standing or low annual usage can lead to the degradation of rubber-based suspension components and the seizing of mechanical parts, which is consistent with the various bushing issues noted in the record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the artwork swivel pins and bushes have been flagged as worn or deteriorated across multiple tests in 2024 and 2025. The previous failure of an offside front suspension arm ball joint and a fractured offside rear coil spring indicates that these components may be nearing their service life. Additionally, the exhaust flexi-section, which caused a major leak in May 2025, should be checked to ensure the repair was permanent and is not suffering from further corrosion or heat damage.
