2014 FORD FIESTA1.0L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test performed on 11 February 2026 at 38,119 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, despite a failure on the same day. This indicates that any mechanical issues identified during that session were immediately rectified. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three years suggests the vehicle remains in good mechanical condition. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,177 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 33,797 miles and the 2025 test at 36,327 miles, the car covered only 2,530 miles. This consistent low usage suggests light operation which minimizes wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by mileage-based wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific causes of the failures in January 2024 and February 2026, as the record does not list the specific defect points. Given the low mileage, it is essential to check for perishation in tyres and cracks in suspension bushes, which occur due to age rather than distance. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used vehicles are prone to caliper seizing. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be a priority to ensure that the low mileage has not masked hidden rust.
