2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PJ65 ABU

The July 2026 MOT at 47,866 miles resulted in a failure, so the Fiesta is presently not roadworthy. Recurrent coil‑spring corrosion, persistent brake imbalance and earlier suspension wear indicate a pattern that has not improved, and the recent failure suggests the underlying issues remain unresolved. The vehicle is 11 years old and has covered 47,866 miles, averaging 4,351 miles per year, which is low for its age but the mileage has risen steadily from 14,071 in November 2018 to the current figure, with the most rapid growth occurring between 2018 and 2020 and a slower pace after 2022, showing no major periods of inactivity. The MOT history flags off‑side rear coil‑spring corrosion on every test since 2020, front coil‑spring corrosion on the 2025 and 2024 passes, and repeated warnings about rear brake imbalance that have only just met requirements, indicating ongoing mechanical stress. Suspension arm pins and bushes were noted as worn in 2018 and 2019, further pointing to persistent structural concerns. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the coil springs for rust, verify the integrity of the suspension arm pins and bushes, test the rear brakes for proper adjustment, check the radiator and hoses for the reported coolant leak, confirm the horn and TPMS function, and examine tyre wear patterns that have approached the legal limit on several occasions.
