2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · YM64 LLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 77,647 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just one day prior. While the owner addressed the parking brake lever adjustment, several advisories regarding seat belt damage, registration plate deterioration, and coil spring corrosion remained. This suggests the owner only performs the minimum repairs necessary to pass the test rather than addressing developing mechanical issues. At 77,647 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for an older road-car. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 4,500 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, and another 6,600 miles in the year preceding that. This steady mileage pattern suggests the car is used regularly for short trips, though the recurring failures on tyres and suspension indicate that components are reaching the end of their life between annual inspection intervals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension, as the tester flagged both nearside and offside coil springs for corrosion in 2025. These components are prone to snapping on this model if rust is left to progress. The frayed webbing on both rear seat belts is also a persistent safety concern that requires replacement, as damaged material can compromise the structural integrity of the restraint system during an impact. Furthermore, the history of tyres worn to the legal limit in both 2024 and 2025 indicates that the owner waits until a failure to replace rubber, so the buyer should check the current tread depth and age of all four tyres immediately.
