2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · W55 WDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward reactive repairs. The most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 46,119 miles resulted in a failure due to a missing offside windscreen wiper and an inoperative registration plate lamp, which were rectified immediately to secure a pass the same day. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record for two consecutive years, suggesting a period of mechanical stability before the recent lapses. At 46,119 miles, this 11-year-old Fiesta has covered low mileage, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a 4,200-mile gap between the December 2023 tests, and another 1,648 miles covered before the January 2026 inspection. This low annual mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based parts if the car spent long periods sitting stationary. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and steering assembly, as the September 2022 test at 36,900 miles flagged worn rear trailing arm bushes and play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. While these did not appear in subsequent clean tests, the age of the vehicle subjects rubber components to cracking regardless of mileage. A physical inspection is required to ensure these specific components were properly replaced and that new play has not developed in the linkages, which would compromise handling and cause tyre wear.
