2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LY63 AEB

This 2014 Ford Fiesta presents a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across all tests, including the most recent dual entries in October 2025 at 113,128–113,129 miles. The absence of advisories, failures, or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard or that major defects have been addressed before testing. The fact that both the 2025 and 2024 MOTs were passed on the first attempt—despite the unusual duplication of test dates—indicates no immediate red flags in structural integrity, emissions, or core mechanical systems. However, the repeated failures on the same day at identical mileages (113,128 and 91,350) are irregular and may imply administrative errors or deliberate retesting after minor, undocumented repairs. For a buyer, this level of compliance is positive, but the lack of advisories could also mask deferred maintenance if the car has been driven lightly or stored between tests. The Fiesta’s mileage accumulation—113,129 miles over 12 years—aligns closely with average usage for its age, averaging roughly 9,427 miles per year. The most recent MOT in October 2025 shows just 21,779 miles covered since the prior test in September 2023, a pace that suggests either infrequent use or a period of inactivity. This low annual mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension, but it may also mean components such as the battery, seals, or rubber bushings have not been exercised regularly. The sparse MOT record—only three distinct test dates—limits visibility into long-term trends, but the consistency in passing without defects implies no chronic neglect. Buyers should verify whether the car has been garaged or driven sporadically, as this could affect fluid condition, corrosion risk, or battery health. Given the absence of recorded faults, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear areas that are not always caught in MOT tests. Check the suspension for worn bushes, degraded coil springs, or uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment or tracking issues. Inspect the brake system for binding calipers, glazed discs, or uneven pad wear, particularly if the car has been driven lightly—such conditions often develop without being MOT-relevant until severe. Examine the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion, especially around sills, exhaust mounts, and suspension pick-up points, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Finally, verify fluid levels—oil, brake fluid, and coolant—and test the battery, given the potential for prolonged inactivity. While the MOT history is reassuring, these components are critical to long-term reliability and should not be assumed to be fault-free.
