2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LO14 AAK

The 2014 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-11-13 at 99,842 miles, which was passed with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle’s MOT history shows a pattern of alternating passes and fails at the same mileage (99,842 and 96,359 miles) without recorded issues, suggesting potential administrative inconsistencies or minor technicalities. No structural, braking, or suspension defects were flagged in the latest test, indicating stable maintenance. The absence of critical failures in the 2023-2025 period implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits definitive conclusions. Mileage progression shows the vehicle accumulated 10,574 miles between 2023-11-11 (89,268 miles) and 2025-11-13 (99,842 miles), averaging 5,287 miles annually. This aligns with the 8,320-mile-per-year average for its age but reveals a sharp 3,483-mile increase between 2024-11-18 and 2025-11-13, which may indicate heavier use or infrequent servicing. The sparse defect data from 2023-2025 suggests no recurring mechanical issues, though the lack of detailed records prevents deeper analysis of wear trends in components like brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritize a hands-on inspection of the suspension, focusing on coil springs and bushings for wear, and check brake calipers for binding or uneven pad wear. The exhaust system should be scrutinized for corrosion, particularly near the catalytic converter, as older vehicles often develop leaks. Additionally, the vehicle’s body structure should be assessed for rust, especially in areas prone to moisture ingress. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the absence of recent tests (the last being over a year old) necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing roadworthiness.
