2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YA15 RXS

The 2026‑05‑29 MOT at 52,590 miles records a fail, confirming that the vehicle is presently not roadworthy. Recurring brake pad wear, CV gaiter leakage and tyre cracking across the 2025 and 2026 tests show no improvement and indicate a deteriorating maintenance pattern. The mileage profile is low for an 11‑year‑old Fiesta, averaging about 4,800 miles per year, and the recorded increments between tests are steady rather than erratic, with no extended periods of zero mileage that would suggest long standing idle. From 2020‑10‑10 (32,486) to 2026‑05‑29 (52,590) the car accumulated roughly 20,100 miles over six years, a rate consistent with regular use. A buyer should focus on the suspension components flagged in the 2024 and 2025 tests, a fractured coil spring and a ball‑joint with slight play, and verify the condition of the CV gaiters, which have wept in both 2025 and 2026. The front brake pads have repeatedly fallen below the 1.5 mm legal limit and the inner brake disc shows scoring and corrosion, indicating imminent replacement. The outer‑edge cracking on all four tyres points to possible alignment or inflation issues that must be inspected. Finally, a thorough visual inspection for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and chassis, and a check of the brake disc thickness and condition are essential, as the record shows recurring mechanical faults that could compromise safety if left unaddressed.
