Our Verdict
This 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a generally honest MOT history with typical wear-and-tear items addressed, though recent brake disc advisories and a tyre pressure monitoring system failure require attention. It is a sensible choice for UK buyers, provided you negotiate on the cost of upcoming brake replacements.
When inspecting this Fiesta, verify that the recent July 2026 MOT failure regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has been fully resolved and that the warning light remains off on the dashboard. Check the service book for regular oil and filter changes, paying attention to any history of suspension work given the 2024 rear axle bush failure.
Use the advisory notes on the front brake discs (noted as worn, pitted, or scored in both 2025 and 2026) and thinning brake pads as a strong point for price negotiation. You should factor in the cost of a front brake overhaul soon after purchase.
The 1.25-litre petrol engine in this Fiesta offers economical day-to-day motoring, making it very popular for UK commuters and new drivers alike. Insurance groups for this engine variant are typically low, helping to keep annual policy costs manageable.
Road tax (VED) sits in a moderate band for a 2015 petrol hatchback, and routine maintenance is straightforward with abundant parts availability across the UK. Estimated annual running costs—incorporating fuel, tax, insurance, and typical servicing—range between £1,100 and £1,400 depending on your location and driver profile.
Pay close attention to the front braking system, as MOT tests from July 2025 and July 2026 highlighted worn, pitted, or scored brake discs alongside thinning pads. Ensure the discs and pads are replaced as a pair to restore optimal stopping performance.
Inspect the rear suspension bushes and axle mounting points. A major failure was recorded in July 2024 for excessive wear in the rear axle swivel pins and bushes, though this was repaired; look underneath for any signs of fresh corrosion or premature wear on the replacement components. Finally, check that all dashboard warning lights clear correctly upon starting the engine, confirming the TPMS fault is entirely cured.
First registered in September 2015, this blue Ford Fiesta is powered by a 1.25-litre petrol engine and has covered 77,668 miles. The vehicle has a history of passing its MOTs with a few manageable failures, notably a TPMS malfunction in July 2026 and worn rear axle bushes in 2024, both of which were subsequently rectified. Its mileage progression is steady and expected for an 11-year-old hatchback.
The Ford Fiesta is renowned in the UK for its robust mechanical durability, wide parts availability, and low overall cost of ownership.

- 1.0 EcoBoost Wet Belt FailureSerious
The oil-bath timing belt is extremely sensitive to skipped servicing or the wrong oil. Once it sheds material, rubber debris clogs the oil pickup strainer, causing oil starvation and total engine failure.
- Powershift Transmission JudderSerious
The same dry-clutch Powershift risk carried into the facelift years, where shunting urban use and missed maintenance accelerate clutch and mechatronic failures.
