2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AP63 FXH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in suspension and braking components. While the most recent test on January 30 2026 at 108,077 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and pitted brake discs. This indicates that while the owner is addressing immediate failures to secure a pass, the mechanical condition of the front-end suggests that components are now reaching the end of their functional life. At 108,077 miles over approximately twelve years, the Fiesta has averaged roughly 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The mileage record shows a steady accumulation of miles, with approximately 4,690 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026, and roughly 5,700 miles in the preceding year. This consistent pattern of use suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left to sit for long periods, which explains the progressive wear on rubber bushes and metal suspension hardware. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension geometry, as the offside front ball joint progressed from having slight play in early 2024 to a total failure by early 2026. The recurring advisories for rear axle swivel pins and bushes in both 2023 and 2024 indicate that the rear suspension is also degrading and likely requires professional attention soon to prevent handling issues. The pitted and scored front brake discs noted in the 2026 test should be checked alongside the brake pads to ensure adequate stopping performance and to verify the calipers are not binding.
