2015 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · TG04 BAT

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, showing an improving maintenance trend. Following a period of mechanical failures in late 2023 and 2024, the car passed its two most recent tests with no recorded defects. The most recent pass on 17 September 2025 indicates that the previous mechanical and lighting issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum legal safety standards. Mileage data is limited, with only one recorded entry of 46,153 miles at the 5 October 2023 test. This suggests an average annual usage of approximately 5,700 miles over the vehicle's eight year life up to that point. However, the lack of mileage data for the 2024 and 2025 tests makes it impossible to determine the current rate of wear or if the vehicle has undergone recent high-intensity use in the last eighteen months. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and tyre components despite the clean recent records. The October 2023 failure highlighted a fractured offside rear coil spring and significant structural damage to both front tyres, including bulges and exposed cords. While these were clearly repaired, the buyer should check the remaining tyres for signs of uneven wear or perished bushings that may have resulted from the previous spring failure. Additionally, the October 2024 failure due to an incorrect offside headlamp aim suggests an adjustment or replacement was necessary; the buyer should verify the beam remains correctly aligned and does not dazz oncoming drivers.
