2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · LG64 OLJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on August 5 2025 passed following a failure due to a fractured offside front coil spring. While the immediate mechanical failure was rectified, the presence of recurring corrosion warnings across the sills and exhaust system indicates that structural degradation is being monitored but only once it reaches a failing threshold rather than being managed at earlier stages. Mileage data is insufficient to establish a definitive usage pattern. The record shows 102,493 miles in April 2023 and 108,503 miles in August 2024. This represents a relatively low accumulation of approximately 6,000 miles over sixteen months, which is consistent with average annual usage for a Fiesta. However, the lack of a mileage reading for the 2025 test makes it impossible to determine the current odometer reading or the exact rate of wear over the last twelve months. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the lower sills and the exhaust back box, as the tester has flagged corrosion in these areas consistently between 2023 and 2025. The previous history also highlights distorted road wheels and worn ball joints, which suggests the vehicle may have encountered significant impacts or suffered from poor suspension maintenance. Attention should also be paid to the front braking system, as the inner face of the offside brake disc was noted as worn in 2024, potentially indicating a sticking caliper or excessive heat.
