2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · AX14 CBV

The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of intermittent failures followed by successful retests, with the most recent result being a pass on 17 July 2025. The record indicates a stable trend in terms of passing the inspection, although the presence of failures in both July 2023 and July 2025 suggests that mechanical or safety issues have required rectification to meet minimum standards. No specific defects were documented in the provided data for these failures, which limits the ability to identify the exact components that required attention. The recorded mileage of 64,249 miles for a 2014 vehicle indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,354 miles. This is relatively low for a twelve-year-old car. The MOT entries are current, with the last test occurring just over a year ago relative to the current date of 29 August 2026. There are no apparent gaps in the annual testing cycle between 2023 and 2025, suggesting consistent annual inspections. Because the failure details are not specified in the record, a physical inspection is necessary to check common wear items. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as well as the condition of the brake discs and pads. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to check for signs of corrosion on the underside or exhaust system, as vehicles used less frequently can sometimes experience accelerated oxidation from standing or short trips. The absence of advisories in the most recent 2025 test suggests that no immediate consumable wear was flagged by the tester at that time. However, the history of failures means a thorough check of the braking system for binding calipers and the tyre tread depths remains a priority during a pre-purchase inspection. buying_score: 65 risk_level: Medium.
