2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BU64 ABO

This 2014 Ford Fiesta has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no recorded defects across all five tests, most recently passing on 2025-12-09 at 44,165 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues requiring attention. However, the most recent test was conducted just five months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal given the vehicle’s age and the typical 12-month MOT cycle. The lack of any warnings in the last two years implies that, at least in terms of MOT-required components, the car has been reliably maintained—though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance outside the MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 44,165 miles over approximately 12 years equates to around 3,680 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The consistent mileage increments—ranging from 2,675 to 3,726 miles per year—suggest minimal usage, which could mean the car has spent extended periods stationary. This low mileage does not necessarily indicate neglect, but it raises questions about whether critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers have been serviced beyond basic MOT requirements. The absence of mileage gaps or sudden spikes further supports a stable, albeit lightly used, history. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components not routinely checked by the MOT tester. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive wear or cracking, as low mileage does not guarantee these have been replaced. Binding brake calipers or unevenly worn brake discs, while not flagged in the MOT, could develop due to infrequent use. Structural integrity, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and subframe, must be scrutinised for corrosion, as standing vehicles are more susceptible to rust penetration. Finally, the battery and fluid levels (coolant, brake fluid, power steering) should be verified, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage cars. The lack of advisories does not mean these areas are flawless—only that they passed the MOT’s basic checks.
