2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CV14 BWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding braking and tyre condition. While it passed its latest test in May 2026 at 71,045 miles, this followed a failure just three weeks prior at the same mileage. The recent failure highlighted exposed cords on the nearside front tyre and fluctuating front brakes, which were rectified to pass. This suggests that the owner is only addressing faults necessary to pass the MOT rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At approximately 71,000 miles, this 12-year-old Fiesta has low mileage, averaging under 6,000 miles per year. The data reveals a significant increase in usage between February 2025 and May 2026, where the car covered over 6,400 miles in fourteen months. This recent burst of activity explains the rapid wear on brake components and tyres seen in the most recent tests. The low annual mileage increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and corrosion, which aligns with the pitted and scored discs noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front braking system. The recurring reports of pitted, scored, and fluctuating brakes since 2023 indicate that the front rotors are reaching the end of their effective life. You should check for uneven pad wear and ensure the calipers are not sticking or binding excessively. Furthermore, the consistent history of uneven tyre wear on the edges across multiple years suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification to prevent premature replacement of future tyres.
