2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SF65 WLH

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following a clean pass in September 2025 at 33,869 miles. However, the immediate history reveals a period of reactive maintenance. In August 2025, the car failed a test due to multiple defects including a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber and various tyre issues. While the subsequent test two weeks later cleared these faults, the trend suggests repairs were only addressed upon inspection failure rather than through proactive preventative care. At eleven years old with 33,869 miles, this Fiesta has a significantly low annual mileage profile, averaging roughly 3,000 miles per year. The data shows a notable spike in usage between March 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered over 6,500 miles in just twelve months. This burst of activity after potentially long periods of standing likely contributed to the rapid degradation of rubber-based components, such as the perishing on the offside rear tyre and the pitted brake discs noted in the August 2025 records. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension components, as the shock absorber progressed from a light mist in March 2025 to a serious leak by August. The braking system also requires attention; the front inner disc was flagged for scoring and pitting, which often occurs on low-use vehicles that sit. Given the recurring reports of tyres worn to the legal limit across multiple years, a thorough check for sidewall cracking and uneven wear is essential to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in dry rot or neglected alignment issues.
