2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WT15 HDG

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-02 showed the vehicle passed, but noted a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and a slightly distorted offside rear wheel. These issues suggest ongoing tyre wear and potential alignment or suspension problems. The nearside rear child seat obstructed inspection of the adult seatbelt, a recurring issue that may indicate improper seating installation or design limitations. A failure in 2025-02-11 highlighted serious brake and electrical concerns, including a warped front disc, stop lamps malfunctioning, and rear tyres with cracking. This was followed by a pass in 2025-02-18, but the same rear tyres were again flagged for damage. The 2024-01-31 failure included fractured coil springs, a structural issue that could compromise ride quality and safety. These patterns indicate intermittent but significant mechanical risks, particularly in braking, suspension, and tyre condition. The trend shows mixed results: a major failure in 2025-02-11 was addressed, leading to subsequent passes, but recurring tyre and brake issues persist. The 2026 MOT’s tyre wear and distorted wheel suggest potential underlying problems with alignment, suspension components, or uneven wear from driving habits. While the vehicle has been repaired to pass inspections, the frequency of brake and suspension-related faults raises concerns about long-term reliability.
