2014 FORD FIESTA1.0L Petrol

The 2014 Ford Fiesta currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass dated 18 March 2026 at 125,357 miles, following a sequence of three failed tests in early March 2026 and March 2025 where the DVSA recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable in mechanical terms, though the repeated no-defect failures suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than worsening vehicle condition. The most recent pass confirms the car met legal standards twelve weeks before today's review date. Recorded mileage rose from 110,000 at the 10 March 2025 failure to 110,436 at the pass eight days later, then to 125,357 by 9 March 2026, an annual accumulation of roughly 15,000 miles against a lifetime average of 10,446. The data shows no standing periods or abrupt jumps beyond typical use. The MOT history is sparse, with five entries across two years and no advisories, corrosion notes, or brake and suspension flags logged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's twelve-year age and 125,357 miles. The absence of recorded advisories does not certify component health, only that the tester logged nothing. The three no-defect failures in March 2026 and March 2025 imply the previous owner accepted retest delays without addressing any listed fault, a pattern consistent with minimal engagement at the garage rather than neglected repairs. Prior to purchase, verify the V5C aligns with the 125,357-mile odometer and confirm the March 2026 pass followed genuine rectification rather than a paperwork correction. Examine exhaust emissions and tyre condition in person, as these consumables fall outside the sparse MOT trail and carry the highest wear risk at this mileage.
