2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NJ15 KVX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in May 2026 at 71,188 miles identified thin front brake pads and worn, corroded brake discs. While the vehicle passed, the presence of these advisories suggests the owner only addresses mechanical components once they approach the point of failure, rather than replacing them during scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern is relatively consistent, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There is a significant gap of over 14,000 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, followed by another 9,800-mile stretch before the 2025 test. This suggests the car is used regularly for shorter trips, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or corrosion on metal surfaces, as seen in the suspension records. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension, as the February 2025 test at 55,900 miles flagged both rear coil springs for corrosion. It is vital to verify if these have been replaced, as corroded springs on Fiestas are prone to snapping. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding front tyres wearing unevenly on the edges indicates potential alignment issues or worn shock dampers that should be checked during a test drive. The braking system requires immediate attention due to the 2026 report of thin pads and worn discs. Replacing these components is necessary to ensure consistent stopping performance. While the 2023 failure for stop lamps and a repeater was a minor electrical issue, it highlights a need to check all exterior lighting and bulbs across the vehicle to ensure no further wiring faults exist. The overall trend shows a vehicle that is functional but is currently nearing a stage where wear-related maintenance is required.
