2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CK14 KFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. While it passed its most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 90,712 miles, this followed a significant failure on the same day where multiple critical safety components were flagged. The transition from a failure involving worn brake discs, pads thinner than 1.5mm, and rough wheel bearings to a pass indicates that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they reached the point of legal failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The car progressed from 75,680 miles in October 2023 to 80,086 miles in October 2024, and reached 90,712 miles by October 2025. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, yet the age of the rubber-based and metal components is evident in the recurring wear-related issues noted in the advisories. A buyer must closely inspect the front sub-frame, as the tester noted corrosion in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. While currently described as not seriously weakened, structural rust on these models often progresses over time. The suspension also shows signs of ongoing wear, with the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint being flagged for play across the last two years without clear evidence of replacement. Additionally, the nearside rear wheel bearing was noted as having play in 2024 and becoming noisy in 2025, suggesting the component is nearing the end of its functional life.
