2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AV14 WFR

The 2014 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 4 September 2025 at 47,771 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend after earlier remedial work. The previous MOTs from 2018 onward have shown consistent passes, with only two failures in 2018 and 2019, after which the vehicle has maintained clean certificates. Mileage has risen steadily from 27,188 miles in June 2018 to 47,771 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 3,980 miles per year over the 12‑year lifespan, which is low for the model’s age and suggests the car has been used lightly or stored for periods. The interval between the 2018 and 2019 tests is just over a year, and subsequent annual tests from 2019 to 2025 maintain a regular cadence with no abrupt mileage jumps. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring suspension faults – the 2024 MOT noted light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers and worn sub‑frame bushes, which may affect ride quality and handling – and on the braking system, as the 2018 failures highlighted imbalanced rear brakes that required adjustment. Inspection of tyre condition, especially the 2019 cut on the offside rear tyre and the 2018 wear on front tyres, is advisable, as is verification that the coil spring fracture recorded in September 2019 has been fully repaired and that no further spring damage is present. Finally, a visual check for structural rust, fluid leaks, and the integrity of the exhaust system should be undertaken before purchase.
