2015 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YA65 AWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive ownership pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 95,806 miles passed, the car failed immediately prior due to electrical faults and critical tyre wear. The data suggests a trend where the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they trigger an MOT failure. The recurring nature of tyre-related advisories across multiple years indicates that basic consumable upkeep is frequently neglected until components reach legal limits. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a noticeable increase in usage between March 2022 and March 2025, where the car covered over 36,000 miles in just three years. This period of higher mileage correlates with the appearance of more serious mechanical failures, such as worn suspension ball joints and a split CV boot noted in March 2025. Prior to this, the vehicle saw significantly lower annual, but the recent pace has accelerated the wear on the suspension and drivetrain components. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record shows a nearside front ball joint failure in 2025 and a split offside front CV boot during the same test. The shock absorbers should also be checked for further leaking, as oil misting was documented as early as 2021 and 2023. The minor oil leak noted in 2023 warrants a physical inspection of the engine bay to ensure it has not progressed into a significant loss. Given the history of worn tyres and distorted wheels, a thorough check of the current wheel alignment and the condition of the remaining sidewalls is essential to ensure the vehicle has not sustained undetected damage from previous impacts.
