2015 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · MV65 AEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 100,333 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in December 2024, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a high standard of operation despite the failures seen earlier in its later life. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage noted between June 2019 and June 2023, where the car covered over 57,000 miles in four years. Since then, the usage has remained steady, with roughly 15,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2025 tests. This period of higher mileage explains the accelerated wear on consumable components like tyres and suspension parts observed in the more recent years of the record. A buyer should focus closely on the front suspension and steering, as the history shows a failed track rod end with excessive play in 2023. While this was rectified, the recurring nature of worn tyres and brake components across 2019, 2022, and 2024 suggests a history of neglecting basic maintenance until a failure occurs. The 2022 failure specifically highlighted pitted brake discs and a fluctuating offside front brake, which warrants a physical inspection of the current rotor thickness and calipers to ensure there is no sign of continued binding or uneven wear. The 2024 failure involving a malfunctioning engine management light and a tyre pressure monitoring system indicates that electronic faults were previously ignored. Although the car passed the subsequent 2025 test, the buyer must verify that the dashboard remains clear of warnings and that the TPMS functions correctly. There are no records of structural corrosion or rust failures in this history, which shifts the primary concern to the condition of the wear items and the integrity of the cooling and washer systems.
