2015 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · MA15 CGF

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a worsening trend in mechanical and structural neglect. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 126,231 miles, this followed a significant failure just six days prior at 126,206 miles. That failure revealed critical safety issues including excessive exhaust emissions, a weakened coil spring, and dangerously thin brake pads. The transition from a failure to a pass suggests the owner performed only the bare minimum repairs required to legal the vehicle rather than addressing underlying preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered roughly 8,000 miles, indicating steady annual use. However, the frequency of failures suggests that the vehicle is being driven with known faults between the scheduled inspections. The rapid accumulation of 325 miles between the April 2026 failure and April 2026 pass highlights that the components are being pushed to their operational limits until they reach a point of failure. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension geometry. The record shows a deformation in the nearside front outer sill noted in 2026, alongside surface corrosion on the rear body and a worn sub-frame. The recurring reports of worn axle swivel pins, bushes, and steering rack inner joints indicate a systemic degradation of the Ford suspension components. A buyer should check for excessive play in the steering and verify that the corrosion on the sub-frame has not progressed into deep structural perforation. The braking system and exhaust assembly also require close scrutiny. The failure for high exhaust emissions in April 2026 suggests potential engine wear or a failing有害 converter which has not been fully remediated. Furthermore, the history of pitted front brake discs and worn parking brake levers indicates that the braking hardware is nearing its end life. Given the repeated mentions of corroded exhaust components and weakened coil springs, the vehicle is likely to require further significant expenditure in the near future to maintain roadworthy standards.
