2015 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · YP65 XMT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 122,081 miles passed only after a failure a single day prior. While the immediate failure regarding a bulged tyre was rectified, the presence of advisories for a worn suspension arm ball joint and a corroded exhaust back box suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten the MOT certificate status. At a recorded mileage of 122,081 miles over 11 years, this Fiesta averages approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK driving patterns for a small hatchback. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 3,000 miles covered in the following year. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber-related components like suspension bushings and drivetrain seals. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension closely, as the record shows recurring issues with ball components. The tester flagged play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint in late 2025 and previously noted play in the offside track rod end in 2023. These findings indicate that the steering and suspension geometry are reaching the end of their functional life. Additionally, the corroded exhaust back box noted in December 2025 should be examined for structural thinning, as corrosion on these components often progresses rapidly to total failure if not replaced.
