2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PN14 AAJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-14 at 84,308 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2023-04-13 (81,736 miles) and 2022-01-26 (78,754 miles) also showed passes, though a failed test on the same date and mileage as a prior pass raises questions about data consistency. No recurring mechanical issues or advisories are documented, suggesting the car has been maintained to meet legal standards. Mileage progression shows a gradual increase, averaging approximately 7,000 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle. However, a two-year gap between the 2023-04-13 test (81,736 miles) and 2025-03-14 test (84,308 miles) reflects minimal usage, potentially leading to dry joints, battery degradation, or fluid stagnation. The 2022-01-26 failed test at 78,754 miles, coinciding with a prior pass, lacks explanatory details, which may indicate procedural errors or unrecorded issues. A physical inspection should focus on components vulnerable to infrequent use, such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, and exhaust systems, which may exhibit stiffness or corrosion. The absence of structural rust or major defects in MOT records is positive, but the low recent mileage warrants checking for fluid leaks, electrical faults, and tyre condition. Buyers should also verify service history for maintenance beyond MOT requirements, as the records do not confirm routine servicing.
