2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NJ64 AAN

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, showing no recorded defects or advisories across its most recent inspections. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects noted, following a previous pass in December 2024 and a successful test in December 2023. While a failure was recorded on 10 December 2025, it was immediately rectified to achieve a pass on the same day, and the absence of any subsequent advisories suggests a stable period of roadworthiness. The vehicle has covered 73,754 miles over its approximately 12-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,146 miles. This usage pattern is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has been used primarily for short-distance or occasional trips rather than high-mileage motorway commuting. Mechanically, this level of usage typically means less cumulative wear on drivetrain components and suspension linkages compared to higher-mileage examples, though it does not preclude the need for regular inspection of rubber components and seals which can degrade due to age rather than mileage. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories for components such as brake pipes, suspension bushes, or exhaust systems, there are no specific mechanical faults to investigate based on previous testing data. During a test drive, the focus should remain on verifying the absence of any emerging issues that have not yet been flagged in an official inspection. Listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes or coil springs, and check for any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel that might suggest alignment or component issues. Further attention should be paid to the braking system and the engine bay to ensure the vehicle's current state matches its clean MOT record. Test the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or judder under braking, which would indicate issues with the hydraulic system or disc surfaces. Additionally, check the engine bay for any signs of oil misting or fluid leaks around gaskets and seals, as these are common areas for wear on a vehicle of this age regardless of the recorded mileage.
