FORD FIESTA2014 · 1.0L Petrol

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-19 recording a pass at 47,462 miles. No defects were noted in this test, and the prior 2024-09-11 and 2023-09-05 tests also showed no issues. However, the 2025-09-19 entry includes a failed test at the same mileage, which conflicts with the pass. This inconsistency may indicate administrative error or a retest, but the absence of recorded defects in both outcomes suggests no critical faults were identified. Overall, the vehicle shows no signs of worsening mechanical or structural issues. The mileage of 47,462 miles for a 12-year-old vehicle is unusually low, averaging 3,955 miles annually. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and corrosion-prone areas. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with 3,038 miles covered between 2023-09-05 and 2024-09-11, followed by 2,407 miles by 2025-09-19. The sparse data lacks detailed defect reports, but the low mileage implies potential risks in aged rubber, electrical systems, and drivetrain components that may not have been regularly exercised. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from lack of use. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car has been stationary. Structural integrity is likely intact given the absence of major defects, but corrosion in wheel arches or underbody areas merits scrutiny. The lack of recurring faults in MOT records is positive, but the vehicle’s low mileage necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm component functionality and identify any hidden wear.
