2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CE14 UOF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the three most recent inspections. The latest test on 21 August 2024 at 81,152 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in May 2022, the subsequent clean records suggest that any issues identified at that time were rectified immediately. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-to-moderate urban use, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between May 2021 at 63,532 miles and August 2024 at 81,152 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 17,600 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect. This low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical stress on the drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to the drying of rubber components or seized brake seals compared to the wear seen on high-mileage vehicles. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that MOT tests do not always capture. A buyer should check for structural corrosion on the lower sills and rear wheel arches, which are common weak points for this generation of Fiesta. The suspension bushes and ball joints should also be examined for cracking or tearing, as low-mileage cars often see these parts perish through age rather than wearing out from friction.
