2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LG14 ACF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 at 86,456 miles. The maintenance history indicates a stable trend of compliance, as the car consistently meets minimum standards following initial failures. While the record shows failures in March 2025 and March 2026, the lack of recorded defects on the failure reports suggests these were likely minor administrative or light-related issues that were rectified immediately, rather than deep mechanical or structural degradation. The mileage progression is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 67,609 miles and the 2025 test at 78,062 miles, the car covered 10,453 miles, representing a slight increase in annual usage. The subsequent 8,394 miles covered between April 2025 and March 2026 returns to the expected average. This usage profile suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing the seal and brake corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that typically wear at this age despite the moderate mileage. Since the MOT record shows no recurring advisories, it is necessary to check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show fatigue on Fiestas of this era. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting and binding calipers to ensure the recent pass success reflects a well-maintained braking system. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at the sills and wheel arches for corrosion remains essential to ensure no deep-seated structural rust has yet to be flagged by the tester.
