2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · NK15 ALK

A recurring theme of brake and rear‑suspension wear runs through the MOT history, highlighted by repeated advisories on front brake disc condition, thin front pads and worn rear‑arm pins or bushes. The single failure recorded in August 2025 concerned an ineffective windscreen wiper, but the most recent test on 5 August 2026 was passed, with only a TPM‑reset advisory, indicating that no safety‑critical defects were present at that date. The odometer reads 80,659 mi after roughly eleven years, giving an average of about 7,300 mi per year – a figure that sits comfortably within typical UK usage patterns. MOTs have been logged annually with no substantial gaps, suggesting the vehicle has been kept on the road consistently rather than sitting idle for long periods, which reduces the likelihood of age‑related corrosion but does not eliminate wear from mileage. Prospective buyers should give the braking system close attention. The front discs have been flagged twice for scoring or pitting, and the pads were noted as thin in 2022; on a test drive feel for any pulsation through the pedal, listen for squeal or scrape, and check stopping distances, especially under hard braking. Rear‑suspension arm pins and bushes were recorded as worn but not yet causing excessive movement; while stationary, push down on each rear corner and listen for clunks, and on the road watch for any wandering or uneven tyre wear that could betray loosened bushings. Tyre condition also warrants inspection: the off‑side rear tyre has been described as perishing and the near‑side front tyre was close to the legal tread limit in 2024. Verify tread depth across the width of each tyre, look for sidewall cracks or bulges, and confirm that tyre pressures hold steady. Finally, test the windscreen wipers for full coverage and effective clearing, and confirm that the TPM warning light is reset after the latest advisory, as a lingering fault could indicate an unresolved electronic issue.
