2014 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · AB57 HER

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2 July 2025 at 65,308 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the last three annual tests showing clean passes. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or mechanical flags across the supplied history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage sits at 65,308 against an estimated 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,442 miles per year. This is low for the age. The test on 18 July 2023 logged 60,777 miles at failure and 60,788 at the same-day pass, then 63,403 at both the fail and pass on 2 July 2024, rising to 65,308 by July 2025. Annual accumulation stays near 2,600 to 2,900 miles. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, showing no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the timeline. The duplicate failed entries on 18 July 2023 and 2 July 2024 at identical mileages to the passes suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, as no defects were listed on either failure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given the low use may mask standing-water corrosion. Verify the front coil springs and rear trailing arm bushes for fatigue from intermittent lay-up. Check the braking system for caliper binding after prolonged storage and confirm tyre sidewall condition, as low-mileage cars often retain aged rubber beyond safe ageing limits. The clean record supports a sound purchase, but independent verification of consumables remains prudent.
