2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MM64 MZE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy certificate, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 50,825 miles, this followed a significant failure on the same day where multiple mechanical and safety defects were identified. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures in 2025 suggests that issues are only being addressed when forced by testing rather than through a proactive service schedule. At 50,825 miles, this eleven-year-old Fiesta has clocked low mileage, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between December 2023 at 38,642 miles and January 2025 at 45,250 miles, where the vehicle covered over 6,600 miles in thirteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion due to inactivity, which is consistent with the suspension issues noted in the recent MOT entries. A buyer must physically inspect the front-side suspension, as the record flags a track rod end ball joint with excessive play and a corroded nearside rear coil spring. The offside front shock absorber has been noted for oil leaking since at least January 2025, indicating a seal failure that will eventually worsen. Additionally, the recurring mentions of swivel pins and bushes on the rear axle indicate that the rear suspension is reaching the end of its service life. The failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system and worn front tyres in late 2025 further suggests that the owner neglected basic consumable maintenance and safety-critical areas.
