2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CX14 HDJ

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health according to the most recent MOT records, with the May 2025 test resulting in a pass at 75,146 miles. While the record shows initial failures on the same day as the passes in both 2024 and 2025, these instances appear to be administrative anomalies or immediate rectifications rather than indicative of chronic mechanical decline. The absence of logged advisories across the last three years suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, preventative maintenance rather than neglect. The recorded mileage of 75,146 over a twelve-year lifespan averages approximately 6,262 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a Ford Fiesta of this vintage. The progression of mileage is steady, showing no evidence of long-term storage or excessive high-intensity use. The gap between the February 2023 test and the May 2024 test represents a slightly longer interval than the standard annual cycle, yet the vehicle passed without issue, indicating that the mechanical systems remained stable during this period. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items for this platform, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these components often degrade on Fiestas of this age despite clean MOT history. Check the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting that might have developed since the last test, and verify that the handbrake mechanism holds firmly on an incline. Although the MOT history is remarkably clear of structural or mechanical defects, a thorough check of the underside for any early signs of corrosion on the sills and subframe remains a prudent step before purchase.
