2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SC15 RYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend is showing signs of worsening mechanical and structural wear. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025, the report flagged several significant advisories related to steering, suspension, and braking components. This suggests that while the car is functional, multiple underbody parts are simultaneously reaching the end of their service life and will require upcoming attention to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,400 miles per year. There was a notable jump of nearly 15,000 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by a more standard increase of 9,982 miles over the final year. This steady usage indicates the car is driven regularly, which generally helps prevent issues associated with long periods, though the total mileage naturally brings expected wear to rubber bushings and mechanical joints. A potential buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the steering and front suspension, as the most recent test identified play in the steering rack inner joints and worn axle swivel pins and bushes. These issues can affect handling and safety if left untreated. Additionally, the noted fluctuating brakes on both the offside front and rear indicate that the brake discs may be thinning or warped, which will likely require replacement soon. The buyer should also check the condition of the tyres, as records show they were already near the legal limit with uneven edge wear. The history of an exhaust leak in 2024 should also be verified to ensure it was properly repaired and has not worsened. Finally, the damaged offside rear seatbelt is a minor safety concern that should be addressed or replaced to ensure full compliance for all passengers.
