FORD FIESTA2014 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile according to the most recent MOT records. The November 2023 test at 144,415 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of successful testing after resolving minor issues, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition despite previous failures. The mileage accumulation is significant for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 12,035 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with the mileage increasing by roughly 7,000 miles between the October 2021 and November 2022 tests, and another 10,000 miles recorded by the final entry in November 2023. This high-mileage usage indicates the vehicle has seen regular road use rather than sitting idle, which typically results in more consistent mechanical wear across the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should pay close attention to the mechanical components that likely contributed to the failures seen in October 2021 and November 2022. While the specific reasons for those failures were not detailed in the summary, the proximity of the failures to the successful tests suggests that consumables or minor mechanical adjustments were addressed. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. The high annual mileage also necessitates a thorough check of the braking system for uneven wear on the discs and calipers. While the recent MOT history shows no current advisories, the cumulative wear on the engine and transmission should be verified through a service history review. Inspecting for any signs of structural corrosion on the underside and checking the condition of the drive belts and hoses is also recommended to account for the vehicle's age and usage level.
