2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · AF64 DSY

The vehicle achieved a PASS at the most recent MOT on 8 June 2026 at 132,127 mi, with only a minor advisory on the offside rear tyre (slight cracking per 5.2.3(d)(ii)). The preceding tests show a consistent pattern of tyre wear, brake‑pad thinning and suspension component play that has not resolved; the maintenance trend is therefore stable rather than improving. The car remains roadworthy but carries a series of advisories that indicate ongoing wear rather than new defects. Mileage accumulation has slowed markedly over the life of the car. Between the October 2020 test (85,200 mi) and the June 2026 test (132,127 mi) the vehicle added roughly 46,900 mi in about 5.7 years, averaging around 8,200 mi per year—considerably below the earlier 11,000 mi/year rate. The record contains notable gaps: no MOT entry for calendar year 2022 and a 20‑month interval between the October 2021 test (89,533 mi) and the June 2023 test (111,565 mi). The data therefore suggests intermittent testing rather than a continuous service schedule. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyres for tread depth and sidewall integrity, paying particular attention to the rear offside for cracking and the front tyres for edge wear. Brake pads should be examined for thinness, especially the front inner pads noted at 111,565 mi. Suspension components require scrutiny: check the front lower arm ball joint, the track‑rod end and the rear suspension pin/bush for excessive play. Verify steering linkage tightness, headlamp aim, stop‑lamp operation and washer‑fluid capacity. Finally, assess the windscreen for damage and look for any signs of corrosion on the chassis or body panels, as the history shows repeated tyre and suspension wear that could indicate higher-than‑average usage or neglected suspension maintenance.
