2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EL08 BAY

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 5 February 2026 at 102,635 miles. The maintenance trend remains excellent, with three consecutive annual tests resulting in no recorded defects or advisories. While the January 2024 failure appears anomalous given the immediate retest pass just one week later, the absence of listed defects suggests this was likely a minor administrative or equipment-related issue rather than a mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 102,635 over twelve years averages approximately 8,550 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage expectations for a Ford Fiesta of this vintage. The consistency of the annual testing schedule indicates that the vehicle has remained in regular service without extended periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation of miles typically suggests that drivetrain components have been kept lubricated and operational, avoiding the common degradation associated with long-term storage or neglect. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of high-wear consumables that may not be captured in the MOT history. Even with a clean testing record, you must verify the remaining thickness on the brake discs and pads, as these are often replaced between inspections. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these components frequently wear out on this chassis after ten years of service. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion on the floor pan or sills, ensuring the structural integrity remains as sound as the recent testing record implies.
