2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LD14 AEF

The 2014 Ford Fiesta is currently roadworthy. The most recent test on 5 March 2026 at 36,830 miles passed with no defects, and the preceding entries all recorded clean results. The sequence of MOT certificates shows a stable maintenance trend, with each test confirming a full pass and no emerging issues. Mileage analysis reveals low overall usage for a twelve‑year‑old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,100 miles per year across the entire lifespan. The gap between the October 2021 test (29,594 miles) and the February 2023 test (36,803 miles) shows a relatively rapid increase of about 7,200 miles in roughly fifteen months, indicating higher annual mileage during that period. In contrast, the intervals from February 2023 to April 2024 added only eleven miles, and the subsequent twelve‑month spans added five and eleven miles respectively, suggesting extended periods of inactivity. This pattern points to a vehicle that has been stored or lightly used for much of its later life. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should inspect several age‑related systems. The extended idle periods raise the likelihood of corrosion on under‑body components, battery electrolyte depletion, and tyre tread deterioration, especially on the front wheels where load is higher. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for dryness or cracking, while brake discs and calipers need a visual check for rust buildup and binding. Fluids should be checked for oxidation, and the exhaust system inspected for rust holes. A thorough under‑body scan for rust spots, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, will reveal any structural degradation that MOT advisories may have missed.
