2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · AD14 AGE

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 86,866 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in August 2024 at 78,211 miles and August 2023 at 71,316 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical faults across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,239 miles given the car's twelve-year age, with the record tracing a steady climb from 65,209 miles at the 25 August 2022 test to the current 86,866. The only anomaly is a failed test on 30 August 2023 at 71,314 miles, logged the same day as the passing retest at 71,316 miles with no defects cited. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine mechanical fault, and the clean retest two miles later confirms the car was sound. The sparse, defect-free record gives the buyer little to chase on paper, but a clean MOT is not a mechanical survey. At twelve years old and 86,866 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear should be physically checked for fatigue not always caught in a test bay. Exhaust emissions and structural underbody corrosion around sills and subframes warrant a ramp inspection given the age. Previous owners appear to have kept basic statutory testing current with no skipped years and no outstanding advisories carried forward. That pattern implies reasonable if unremarkable care, though the absence of recorded wear items means consumables like tyres and wiper blades were likely changed outside the test cycle. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm the body and drivetrain match the paperwork.
