2014 FORD FIESTA1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a clean MOT trajectory with the most recent test on 4 March 2025 at 154,048 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend appears stable, as each annual examination from March 2022 through March 2025 returned passes without advisories. The solitary anomaly occurred on 26 February 2024 when the tester issued both a fail and a pass at 130,956 miles, yet logged no defects against either outcome. This indicates an administrative quirk rather than a deterioration in mechanical condition. Mileage stands at 154,048 on a twelve-year-old supermini, averaging roughly 12,800 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 97,924 miles in the 4 March 2022 test to 111,468 miles by 3 March 2023, then jumped to 130,956 miles by 26 February 2024, and reached 154,048 miles at the 2025 test. That equates to about 23,000 miles in the final year, a marked acceleration versus the prior about 14,000 mile annual norm. High cumulative distance implies heavier use than typical for a Fiesta of this age, though the sparse five-entry history shows no gaps exceeding twelve months. No recurring faults or structural concerns appear in the official record, so the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, binding calipers, or corrosion issues. Previous owners clearly kept the car to a test-pass standard, but a clean MOT sheet at 154,000 miles does not negate wear on consumable items. The buyer should physically examine brake disc thickness, coil spring integrity, and underbody structural integrity for rust, given the mileage and winter exposure typical of UK roads. Prior to purchase, a workshop should measure tyre tread depth and check exhaust emissions against current limits, despite no advisories. The duplicated 2024 result warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA records align. This Ford shows a reassuring test history, yet high mileage demands hands-on scrutiny of drivetrain and suspension components.
