Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle's MOT history presents a clean record with no defects recorded across all tests, including both passes and fails. The most recent test in November 2024 at 96,034 miles passed without any advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition. This consistent outcome suggests the car has been kept in good mechanical order, with no recurring issues flagged by testers. Mileage accumulation averages roughly 6,860 miles per year, which is typical for a 14-year-old Ford Fiesta. The recorded mileage jumps from 87,769 miles in December 2022 to 91,856 miles in December 2023, then to 96,034 miles in November 2024. This shows a steady annual usage of around 4,000 to 4,200 miles between tests, with no unusual gaps or rapid accumulation that would indicate irregular use or prolonged standing. Despite the clean MOT history, a 14-year-old car with over 96,000 miles will have wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, check brake discs and pads for thickness and condition, and examine the underside for structural corrosion. The exhaust system and emissions components also merit attention, as these are common failure points at this age. A professional pre-purchase inspection is recommended to verify the car's condition beyond the MOT record.
