2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AP64 AEE

The 2026‑04‑08 MOT at 85,909 miles resulted in a pass, yet the tester recorded several advisories including cracked tyres, slight play in both front suspension arm ball joints, and a damaged central front lower engine mounting, indicating that the vehicle continues to exhibit recurring mechanical issues rather than showing improvement. Mileage has risen steadily from 33,092 miles in March 2017 to the current 85,909 miles, averaging about 7,159 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old Fiesta and shows no significant periods of inactivity; the two tests conducted on 2024‑08‑06 and 2024‑08‑14 reflect only a minor mileage change within a single day, confirming regular testing intervals. A buyer should therefore examine the front suspension arm ball joints for excessive play, the rear sub‑frame pins and bushes for wear, the condition of all four tyres for perishing or cracking, the brake discs and pads for pitting, scoring or excessive wear, and the exhaust system for leaks or lambda reading anomalies; structural rust on the rear heat shield or sub‑frame should also be inspected, as these items have repeatedly appeared in earlier tests.
