2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SB15 OKM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on June 2026 at 47,031 miles, it failed just eight days prior due to a worn ball joint, an illegally worn nearside front tyre, and a nail in the offside rear tyre. This sequence indicates the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they triggered an MOT failure, which increases the risk of components failing between annual inspections. At 47,031 miles over eleven years, this Fiesta has covered significantly less than average, averaging roughly 4,300 miles per year. The data shows a notable gap between June 2024 and June 2025, where the car covered only 4,241 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite low mechanical wear. The 2025 failure involving a leaking hydraulic brake cylinder and corroded coil springs are common symptoms of age-related decay rather than high-mile stress. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension and braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with axle swivel pins and bushes. The tester flagged these on both sides in 2025, and while they passed the following year, the underlying wear is likely to persist. Particular attention should be paid to the nearside rear brake cylinder for signs of further weeping and the nearside rear coil spring for corrosion that could indicate fatigue. Repeated reports of nails in tyres also suggest a lack of attention to basic vehicle safety checks.
