2015 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · YR15 NTA

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend following a mechanical failure. The most recent MOT test conducted in March 2026 at 73,514 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This clean result across the last two tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults once they are officially flagged. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 50,510 miles and March 2024 at 60,540 miles, the car covered over 10,000 miles, showing a temporary spike in usage. However, the usage settled back to roughly 5,000 miles per annum over the subsequent tests. This low annual mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine internal components compared to high-mileage examples. The failure in March 2024 at 60,504 miles highlighted specific wear points. The tester flagged excessive wear on the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints, along with thinning brake discs on both axles. While these were cleared in the subsequent re-test, a buyer should still inspect the front suspension for any lingering play or steering knocks that may have developed. Checking the brake pads and rotors is also advisable to ensure the recently replaced components are performing correctly and are not wearing prematurely.
