2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LR15 HGP

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident in this vehicle, with the most recent test on 23 February 2026 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. While the history shows a single failure in April 2021 regarding headlamp aim, the subsequent years have been largely clear of mechanical issues. The only recorded advisories appeared in July 2023, involving a worn nearside front tyre and a corroded offside rear coil spring, but these issues do not appear to have recurred in the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2026. The vehicle has covered 52,998 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 4,818 miles. This usage profile is significantly lower than the UK national average, which typically suggests less frequent mechanical wear on high-friction components such as brake pads, discs, and clutch assemblies. However, such low annual mileage can also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may impact the condition of rubber components and seals that rely on regular movement to maintain their integrity. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the suspension and tyre condition given the previous advisories. Although the 2023 advisory for a corroded offside rear coil spring was not repeated in later tests, it is prudent to inspect the spring for any signs of surface rust or fractures. During a test drive, listen for any metallic clunking or knocking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as these can indicate failing suspension components or worn bushes. Additionally, check the tread depth and evenness of wear across all four tyres to ensure the previous edge-wear issue on the nearside front has been fully rectified. The absence of recent defects in the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests that the previous concerns regarding lighting aim and tyre wear have been addressed. When inspecting the vehicle, verify that the headlamp beam pattern is correctly aligned and that there is no excessive vibration through the steering wheel or pedal judder, which would indicate issues with the drivetrain or braking system. Given the low mileage, a thorough check of the underside for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system is recommended to complement the MOT data.
