AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 2014 Ford Fiesta exhibits a notable history of front suspension ball joint wear, having failed its MOT twice for this specific defect on opposing sides. The vehicle initially failed in January 2022 due to an excessively worn Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint, and again in January 2024 for the Offside Front equivalent. Both instances were rectified promptly, with subsequent retests passed on the same day or the following day. Encouragingly, the most recent MOT test on 27th January 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, continuing a trend of three consecutive passes without advisories since the last ball joint repair. With a recorded mileage of 90,258 over its approximate 12-year lifespan, this Fiesta has accumulated miles at an average rate of around 7,522 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of its age. This consistent usage pattern suggests regular operation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to issues such as seized components or perishing rubber. The mileage accumulation is neither unusually low nor excessively high, indicating a standard level of wear and tear on components commensurate with its age and use. Given the history of front lower suspension arm ball joint failures, a thorough inspection of both front suspension assemblies is paramount. On a test drive, listen carefully for any knocking or clunking sounds, especially when driving over uneven surfaces, speed bumps, or turning at low speeds, as these can indicate play in the ball joints or other suspension bushes. Check for any excessive play when rocking the wheels at 12 and 6 o'clock positions with the vehicle safely jacked. Furthermore, the MOT history frequently notes advisories for worn front brake pads and discs, as well as tyres wearing close to the legal limit. While these are routine consumable items, it is advisable to check the condition of all four tyres for adequate tread depth across the full width and for any signs of cracking or perishing. Evaluate the braking system for effectiveness, any pulling to one side, or pedal judder, which could signify warped discs or uneven pad wear. The centre stop lamp, noted as dim in 2021, should also be checked for correct operation and intensity.

Our Verdict

We recommend proceeding with confidence,

Check the full MOT certificate for the 2024 failure to understand why the test was failed, even though no defects were listed. Request any available service records that may explain the cause and confirm that any remedial work was completed. When negotiating, consider the above‑average mileage and ask for a price adjustment or a warranty that covers potential wear on components commonly flagged for this model, such as headlamps, tyres and suspension arms.

Be aware that the Fiesta's 1.2‑litre petrol engine is generally straightforward to maintain, but higher mileage can increase the likelihood of wear on the clutch and timing belt. Verify that the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule (typically around 60,000–80,000 miles) and that the clutch shows no signs of slipping. A recent full service invoice would be useful, but the MOT records alone cannot confirm service history.

The 1.2‑litre petrol engine typically achieves around 45–55 mpg in mixed driving, giving fuel costs of roughly £800–£1,000 per year based on average UK mileage. Road tax for a 2014 Fiesta falls in the lower band (often £0–£150 annually) due to its modest CO2 emissions.

Insurance groups for this model are generally in the 15–20 range, translating to an annual premium of about £500–£700 for a standard driver. Routine maintenance, including oil changes, brake pads and tyre replacement, adds another £200–£300 per year. Combining these factors, the estimated annual running cost sits around £1,500–£2,000.

Given the MOT failure in January 2024, inspect the headlamp units, tyre condition and suspension components, as these are the top failure reasons for the Fiesta model. Look for cracked or worn headlamp lenses, uneven tyre tread, and any play in the suspension arms or bushings.

With 90,258 miles on the clock, examine the engine bay for any oil leaks, especially around the valve cover and oil filter housing. Check the condition of the timing belt or chain, and ask the seller for evidence of its replacement. Also, test the clutch for smooth engagement and listen for any abnormal noises during gear changes.

Finally, verify the vehicle's mileage consistency by comparing the odometer reading with the recorded MOT mileages (89,453 mi in early 2024, 90,258 mi in 2026). Any large discrepancies could indicate odometer tampering, which would raise the risk profile.

This 2014 red Ford Fiesta has accumulated 90,258 miles and shows four passes and one failure in its five recorded MOT tests. The failure in early 2024 recorded no specific defects, and the vehicle subsequently passed the following day. Its annual mileage of roughly 7,000 miles is slightly above the model's average of 5,864 miles, indicating a higher‑than‑average use. Overall, the car presents a low‑risk profile but warrants a focused inspection of common failure areas for the model.

Ford Fiesta MOT pass rates average 77.2%, so this vehicle's four passes out of five tests is above the model average.
