2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MA15 CGE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 95,899 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a non-functional horn. This represents a minor electrical fix compared to the previous failure in 2024, where multiple mechanical defects were flagged. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they cause an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 10,000 miles between the January 2023 test at 79,826 miles and the May 2024 test at 90,077 miles, followed by another 5,800 miles covered in the final year. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, which explains the wear seen on rubber components and braking hardware noted in the record. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The May 2024 record highlighted pitting and scoring on both front brake discs and slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, indicating the start of component degradation. The light misting on both rear shock absorbers suggests the seals are beginning to fail, which should be monitored for increased leakage that could lead to handling instability. Attention is also required regarding the tyres. The 2023 advisory noted front tyres were totally bald on the inner edges, which often points to an alignment issue or worn bushes. While these specific tyres were not mentioned in the later tests, the buyer must verify the current tread pattern to ensure the vehicle is set up correctly and not consuming new tyres prematurely.
