2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CU14 KCV

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 March 2026 at 69,136 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without requiring any remedial work. While the 2025 and 2024 tests show initial failures on 26 March 2025 and 27 March 2024, both were resolved promptly with clean passes recorded on the same day or shortly after, suggesting minor, easily rectified issues rather than chronic mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally light usage, averaging roughly 5,761 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 58,072 miles and the March 2025 test at 63,452 miles, the Fiesta covered 5,380 miles over a twelve-month period. The subsequent year saw a further 5,684 miles added before the March 2026 test. This consistent, low-mileage accumulation points to short, local journeys rather than sustained motorway driving, a pattern that can sometimes lead to specific wear characteristics like brake disc corrosion or exhaust system deterioration from incomplete warm-up cycles. Despite the clean MOT record, the anomaly of passing and failing on the same day in 2025 without recorded defects warrants a physical inspection of the vehicle's core mechanicals. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles covering short distances where components rarely reach full operating temperature. The exhaust system and catalytic converter require scrutiny for internal condensation-related corrosion. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perishing, as rubber deteriorates with age and lack of use regardless of low mileage.
