Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the exceptionally low mileage, the primary focus should be on evidence of the car's usage patterns. Check for signs of inactivity, such as battery health or perished rubber seals. You should verify whether the advisories from July 2025 regarding the corroded rear coil spring and binding nearside front brake were addressed, as these are mechanical points of wear.
Negotiate based on the current state of the brakes and suspension if there is no evidence of repair following the 2025 advisories. Ensure the service history reflects regular oil changes, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from oil degradation if not serviced by time intervals.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a balance of city usability and motorway capability. Running costs will be typical for a small petrol hatchback of this era, with insurance groups generally remaining affordable for most drivers.
Annual costs will include the standard VED tax band for a 2014 petrol engine and routine maintenance. While the low mileage may reduce wear-and-tear costs, age-related maintenance such as tyre replacements and fluid changes will still be required.
Specifically inspect the rear coil springs and the front braking system. The July 2025 MOT flagged a corroded rear coil spring and a binding nearside front brake; check for any signs of recent replacement or ongoing stiffness in the brakes. Coil springs are also noted as a top failure reason across the wider Fiesta model range.
Check the tyre tread and wear patterns, particularly on the nearside rear, following an advisory in 2024. Finally, ensure all external lighting is functional, referencing the 2023 failure of the offside rear fog lamp.
This blue 2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6 petrol has covered just 28,653 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the most recent test in July 2026 recording no defects. Only one failure was recorded in 2023, which was for a non-mechanical issue regarding a rear fog lamp.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with coil springs being one of the most frequent causes of failure.
