2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE64 UPV

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend following a period of recurring minor failures. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 56,876 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 19 August 2025 where the tester flagged multiple issues including failed rear stop lamps, significantly worn front brake discs, an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. The fact that these specific faults were rectified within 24 hours suggests a proactive approach to repairs when prompted by a test failure. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a 12-year-old vehicle. Between August 2023 and August 2025, the mileage increased from 48,144 to 56,876, averaging roughly 4,366 miles per year. This low annual mileage aligns with the overall recorded figure of 56,876 miles. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the history shows that components like tyres and brake discs still require attention due to age or periodic use. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The record shows a recurring issue with front brake discs, with an advisory in August 2024 and a failure in August 2025. Although the most recent pass suggests these have been replaced or serviced, the condition of the remaining discs and pads should be verified. The failure of the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint in 2025 indicates that rubber bushes and ball joints may be reaching the end of their service life due to age-related perishing rather than high mileage. The history also highlights intermittent electrical and tyre issues. The tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioned in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, so the functionality of this sensor should be confirmed. Additionally, the 2023 test noted rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, and the 2024 test flagged a perishing nearside front tyre. Given the low annual mileage, these issues likely stem from age-related degradation of the rubber rather than tread wear from heavy driving. Checking the manufacture dates on all tyres is a necessary step to ensure they are not cracking or perishing.
