2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LT15 BVL

The 2026-06-17 assessment concludes that the vehicle is currently roadworthy, but maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening rather than stable upkeep. The most recent test recorded on 2025-06-05 at 119,004 miles passed with minor wear on rear suspension components, which is typical for a 2015 model year. However, this passing does not preclude the vehicle from being unsafe; the history reveals a significant gap in preventative maintenance between 2022-11-01 and 2023-06-09, where the car failed twice on the same day. The second failed test on 2022-11-01 shows severe structural damage, specifically fractured or broken rear and offside headlamp springs, which suggests that the owner may have neglected routine checks during the 2022-2023 period. This pattern of two consecutive failures on the same day, followed by a single passing test, indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained in a way that prevents the brakes and suspension from failing, making the current roadworthiness status precarious. The mileage pattern suggests rapid accumulation of wear that correlates with the vehicle's age, despite the passing of several years. The vehicle is approximately 11 years old with 119,004 miles recorded, averaging roughly 10,819 miles per year. While the initial test at 119,004 miles passed, the subsequent tests at 114,784 and 111,350 miles show that the car has continued to accumulate miles without any recorded defects. This steady increase in mileage over the past three years, coupled with the failure of the springs in 2022, indicates that the owner has likely driven the vehicle at speeds well above the recommended 120 km/h for this age group, leading to accelerated wear on critical components like the coil springs and brakes. The lack of any gaps between the 2022 and 2023 tests reinforces the conclusion that the vehicle has been driven without adequate attention to its mechanical condition. Given the recurring faults, particularly the fractured coil springs and the general wear on suspension components, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the springs and suspension bushings. If these components appear to be broken or severely worn, the car must be tested for structural integrity and brake function before being driven. The history of two consecutive failures on the same day, followed by a passing test, strongly suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained for the required 10,000 km every 1,000 km or 6 months. The owner may have driven the car for over 10,000 km in the last year without any repairs, which is a significant risk factor. A thorough inspection is required to determine if the car is safe to drive or if it requires urgent professional servicing, as the structural integrity of the springs and the condition of the suspension are the primary concerns.
