2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CU14 XUW

The 2014 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 176,733 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows two anomalous failure entries with no defects logged, suggesting administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than mechanical decline. Recorded mileage stands at 176,733 against a 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 14,728 miles per year and placing this car well above typical use for its class. The odometer climbed from 143,835 miles at the October 2023 test to 161,219 by October 2024, then to 176,733 by October 2025, a consistent annual accumulation near 15,000 to 17,500 miles. No standing gaps or sudden jumps appear; the sparse record of only three pass cycles plus two null failures gives limited visibility into wear between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and thin test coverage. The absence of advisories across all entries is unusual for a vehicle of this age and distance, implying either diligent pre-test rectification or insufficient scrutiny at the garage. Pay particular attention to structural integrity and corrosion on sills and subframes, as the DVSA data offers no reassurance on hidden rust. Verify the two failure entries dated 18 October 2025 and 16 October 2024 with the test centre, since no defects were recorded yet the vehicle was failed, a pattern that warrants documentary clarification before purchase.
