2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AV64 TZS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a clean MOT certificate from October 2025 at 52,750 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of reactive repairs. While the car failed in September 2025 due to a damaged offside windscreen, the issue was rectified immediately, evidenced by a pass just nine days later. This suggests the current owner is willing to address safety-critical failures once they are officially flagged by the tester. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 52,750 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. This low usage profile often correlates with less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it introduces specific risks related to age. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the vehicle covered only 4,193 miles, indicating a pattern of infrequent use. However, the record highlights that this low mileage has not prevented the degradation of rubber components, as seen in multiple failures regarding tyre condition and cracking due to age rather than tread wear. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of all rubber components, as the history shows recurring issues with perishing tyres. In both 2023 and 2024, the tester flagged cracking and damage on tyres, suggesting the rubber may be reaching its structural limit despite having sufficient depth. The braking system also requires attention, as the August 2024 test noted thin front brake pads at 48,444 miles. Given the car sits for long periods, a physical inspection should check for seized calipers or corrosion on the brake discs, which are common in low-mileage vehicles of this age.
