2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CK64 KGP

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the emergence of minor wear-related defects. The most recent test in April 2026 at 73,190 miles identified an advisory for an offside track rod end ball joint with slight play. This follows a clean record from the previous three years, indicating that while the suspension is beginning to show signs of age-related degradation, it has not yet reached a point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's twelve-year age, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 55,807 miles and April 2026 at 73,190 miles, the car covered 17,383 miles at a steady rate. This low annual suggests the vehicle was likely used for short local trips, which often explains the premature degradation of rubber-based components, as seen with the perishing tyres noted in the April 2025 test. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension components to check the extent of the play in the track rod end and other ball joints. The 2025 test highlighted that both the offside and nearside front tyres showed signs of cracking or perishing, so the rubber condition should be evaluated for dry rot rather than just tread depth. Given the lack of structural failures in the history, the focus should remain on these aging bushings and seals to ensure the low-mileage usage has not led to excessive brittleness in the chassis components.
