2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BN64 SYV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 83,703 miles passed, it flagged immediate issues with discoloured indicators and a nearside rear tyre at the legal limit of 1.6mm. This suggests a trend where components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure, as evidenced by the multiple failures in 2023 and 2024. At 83,703 miles over 12 years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate annual usage. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 6,800 miles covered between the October 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,700 miles before the 2025 inspection. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is not neglected, but the age means rubber and plastic components are subject to degradation despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and braking system due to recurring faults. The October 2024 failure identified excessively worn axle beam bushes and pitted front brake discs alongside thin offside front inner pads. Although these were rectified, the buyer should check for any play in the rear suspension or vibrations that might indicate uneven wear. The central lower engine mounting flagged in 2023 also warrants a physical check for cracks or tearing, as it was noted nearing failure. The record also shows frequent issues with basic consumables and lighting, including multiple failures for stop lamps, fog lamps, and washer fluid. The recurring mention of tyres worn to the limit in both 2023 and 2025 suggests the owner often ignores standard maintenance intervals. A thorough inspection of the current tyre tread and all external lighting units is necessary before purchase.
