2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BD14 KMM

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on July 17, 2026, at69,964 miles. This result indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards following a period of recurring mechanical failures between 2022 and 2023. While earlier tests flagged various suspension and lighting issues, the two most recent annual inspections recorded no defects, suggesting the current owner has addressed previous concerns and is maintaining consistent upkeep. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 69,964 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,830 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but the record shows signs of age-related degradation rather than distance-related wear. Between 2020 and early 2022, the car covered only roughly 7,000 miles, yet it failed for perished tyres and worn axle bushes, which is common in vehicles that sit for long periods, as rubber components dry out over time despite low mileage. The mechanical history reveals a pattern of wear in the suspension and braking systems. In January 2022, the tester identified leaking front shock absorbers, damaged rear coil spring top mounts, and worn rear axle bushes. By early 2023, the offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover failed, and front brake discs showed pitting and scoring. Although these issues appear to have been rectified, a buyer should still inspect the front suspension for continued oil leaks and check the rear mounts to ensure the previous structural damage noted in 2022 has not progressed.
