2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BN64 ATX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on July 30, 2025. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, as the owner addresses immediate failures to secure a certificate. While the car failed two days prior to that pass at 50,610 miles due to exposed cords on both front tyres, the subsequent rectification suggests the owner monitors for safety-critical items despite potential long-term mechanical neglect. At 50,618 miles, this 2014 Ford Fiesta shows significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. This low usage profile generally reduces internal wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, the intervals between tests in September 2023, 2024, and 2025 are consistent, indicating a regular annual testing schedule. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation, though the low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake seals due to infrequent use. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the parking brake system, which failed to meet efficiency requirements in August 2024 at 44,526 miles. While it passed the subsequent test, a buyer should verify that the handbrake remains firm and that the cables have not seized or stretched. The previous failure regarding insufficient washer fluid is a minor oversight but suggests blocked nozzles or a failing pump, which should be checked to ensure the visibility system is fully functional. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, the inspector must check for corrosion on the structural chassis and cracks in the suspension bushes and coil springs. The failure for exposed cords in 2025 indicates that the tyres reached the end of their structural life rather than just wearing down. A thorough check of the current remaining tread and any signs of pitting on the brake discs, which is common on cars that sit for long periods, is essential.
