2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · HV65 YGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test in July 2025 at 88,486 miles identified three distinct issues including a coolant leak, thin front brake pads, and a pitted offside rear brake disc. This represents a departure from the clean records seen between 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where components require frequent replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old car, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 11,000 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 11,600 miles leading into the 2025 test. While the annual accumulation does not indicate excessive use, the appearance of tyre wear and track rod end play in the 2024 test suggests that suspension items and rubber components are being pushed to their limits between the annual inspection intervals. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the cooling system to identify the source of the leak flagged in 2025, as unresolved leaks can lead to engine overheating. The braking system requires a thorough check, specifically the condition of the offside rear disc and the thickness of the front pads. Additionally, the nearside front track rod end which was noted for play in 2024 should be verified for movement to ensure the wear has not worsened, as this component directly affects steering precision and uneven tyre wear.
