2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SM15 XDS

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 38,443 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure in early 2025. While the latest test suggests the car is currently in a good state, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance where safety-critical faults are addressed upon failure rather than through a preventative schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 1,600 miles covered between the February 2024 and January 2025 tests, and a similar small interval thereafter. This low mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to age and lack of movement, which is evidenced by recurring issues with tyre condition noted in the record. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the tyres and suspension components, as the 2024 and 2025 records flagged repeated perishing, cracking, and structural failures in the rear tyres. The 2025 failure of the central front track rod end ball joint with excessive play indicates that despite the low mileage, suspension components may be suffering from age-related fatigue. Verify the condition of all rubber bushes and check the sidewalls of the current tyres for the same structural tears to ensure previous issues have not returned.
