2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV14 BWU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor decline regarding the exhaust system. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 45,923 miles identified a minor leak of exhaust gases from the rear box. This is the exact same fault recorded during the February 2025 test at 42,639 miles, indicating that the owner has failed to rectify this defect despite it passing as an advisory. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with intervals of roughly 3,300 to 3,500 miles between each annual MOT test from 2022 to early 2026. This low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the likelihood of rubber degradation and dry-related issues due to long periods of inactivity or light use. A buyer must physically inspect the exhaust system to determine the extent of the leak at the rear box, as persistent leaks over two years can eventually lead to a structural failure. The history also highlights a pattern of tyre-related issues, including a nail in 2022, a worn offside tyre in 2023, and perishing nearside rubber in 2025. These findings suggest the buyer should check for agerelated sidewall cracking across all tyres, as the low mileage often masks rubber rot that occurs despite remaining tread.
