2015 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · SF15 VOY

The 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a stable but recently tested maintenance trend, with a clean pass recorded on 10 April 2026 at 79,368 miles following an earlier failure on the same day. That failure flagged a significantly worn front brake disc, excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, and multiple lighting defects across the nearside and offside circuits. The immediate retest with zero defects confirms these items were rectified promptly. The 2024 failure at 77,340 miles involved simpler consumable issues, a rear stop lamp and a wiper blade, both cleared at the subsequent test. No structural corrosion, exhaust emissions, or suspension spring defects appear in the record, which is encouraging for a vehicle of this age. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an eleven-year-old supermini. The vehicle covered roughly 2,028 miles between the August 2023 pass at 72,235 miles and the November 2024 test at 77,340 miles, then recorded no further distance by the April 2026 tests at 79,368 miles. That two-year plateau suggests the car may have stood for extended periods or seen very light use recently, which can mask wear but also introduce risks such as deteriorated rubber components, stale fuel, or surface corrosion on brake discs and suspension bushes from prolonged sitting. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system, given the 2026 failure flagged a worn disc and a track rod end with excessive play. Check the condition of both front brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping, and examine the track rod end gaiter for splits that could allow ingress of water and grit. Inspect all exterior lamp units and wiring connectors, particularly the offside headlamp and stop lamp circuits, as multiple lighting faults appeared across both the 2024 and 2026 tests, hinting at possible wiring corrosion or a failing body control module rather than simple bulb failures. Jack the front corners and test for play in the lower suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links, as these components often deteriorate on Fiestas used for short urban trips. Beneath the car, look for corrosion along the sills, subframe mounts, and rear beam mounting points, especially if the vehicle has been standing for long stretches. Finally, assess the condition of the tyres and the operation of the front wiper mechanism, as the 2024 wiper defect suggests the linkage or blade may have been neglected between services.
